Livestream available
Hosted by EY, this COP31 panel will explore how intensifying physical climate risks are reshaping financial risk, capital allocation and investment priorities, and how finance can support greater resilience alongside the transition to a low-carbon economy.
The discussion will consider how climate impacts are increasingly affecting infrastructure, food systems and financial markets, and explore ways to scale finance for adaptation and resilience. Panellists will examine approaches including blended finance, resilience-linked products and insurance solutions, alongside the role of better climate data and measurement in informing investment decisions. The session will also consider how adaptation and transition finance can work together to support a resilient and just transition.
Chair of CETEx Chris Skidmore will contribute a policy perspective to panel discussions on managing physical climate risk and mobilising finance for adaptation and resilience. His contribution will consider the policy and regulatory interventions that can help incentivise capital to flow towards resilience and adaptation, as well as how governments and financial institutions can better align adaptation and transition finance.
