Climate Bonds Cafe: The Resilience Special - Risk and Reward

Last week saw the launch of Climate Bonds' new Resilience Taxonomy at ClimateWeek NYC. There are trillions of dollars worth of investible resilience projects now defined by our taxonomy, such as building elevated roads and bridges, flood barriers and levees in cities that are prone to flooding, supporting farmers to adopt drought-resistant crops and irrigation systems, and planting trees, creating parks and restoring wetlands.

We urgently need to get capital flowing to these kinds of projects to help prepare the communities and systems we live in for the impacts of a warmer, less predictable world.
