#cop28 highlighted two pressing challenges: the inevitability of escalating global warming due to accumulated carbon dioxide levels, and the financial vulnerability of over 1.5 billion citizens in climate-vulnerable economies. With the impending displacement of 200 million people within these economies, the risk of financial disruption looms large. However, this scenario is not inevitable. Governments can take immediate action by enhancing data portability, protecting migrants from financial abuses, and supporting reskilling programs. Simultaneously, financial service providers should reduce fees during crises, maintain active cash-in, cash-out networks, and invest in data-driven solutions tailored to migrants. By adopting these measures, governments and banks can proactively address the impending climate-induced disruption, offering tangible solutions for millions in need, rather than delaying action until #COP29.

Implementing solutions to adapt to the impacts of the climate crisis – like hurricanes and extreme weather events – might sound expensive, but the math is really simple: a global investment of $1.8 trillion in early warning systems, climate-resilient infrastructure, improved agriculture, and resilient water resources could generate $7.1 trillion through a combination of avoided costs and a variety of social and environmental benefits.United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) One example here: https://lnkd.in/e7-gp4ub

💡 📚 Directing increasing funds towards climate change adaptation solutions is a widely shared necessity and an opportunity for the private sector, both in emerging and developed markets. Part of the challenge is quantifying the adaptation finance gap and tracking funds already allocated to resilience worldwide 🌍. Experts from the Climate Policy Initiative guide us through this aspect of climate finance and how its narrative is changing, including successful experiences with private sector investments in the field.
