About
How can banks and insurers finance efforts to support societies, economies and ecosystems in adapting to climate change? And why should they closely consider nature when managing climate and financial risk?
Join our webinar to explore real-world case studies that reveal:
- Understanding risk feedback loops: How climate impacts on nature, such as ecosystem degradation, can increase financial and physical risks - and vice versa.
- Avoiding maladaptation: How to prevent well-intentioned adaptation projects from unintentionally increasing long-term vulnerability.
- Capturing co-benefits: How nature-based approaches to adaptation can deliver multiple benefits, such as protecting biodiversity and strengthening resilience.
This introductory session is designed for sustainability and ESG professionals at banks, insurers, and other financial institutions, as well as stakeholders beginning to explore the links between climate adaptation and nature.
