Executive Summary
Climate adaptation is gaining significant traction, with increased attention from finance, capital, and institutions, particularly in emerging markets where climate impacts are a present reality.
The private sector's role is expanding, with venture capital, consulting firms, and investment banks showing interest, but collaboration with the public and philanthropic sectors remains siloed due to differing speeds, cultures, and risk appetites.
The application of AI in climate adaptation presents a dual-edged sword: it offers powerful tools for prediction and insurance, but its high energy and water consumption for data centers poses a significant environmental challenge.
A major barrier to progress is the lack of a clear, unified narrative for adaptation, which hinders collaboration and prevents the sector from fully capitalizing on the current momentum.
