There is an urgent need to scale-up investments in adaptation and resilience to manage risks, realise opportunities and avoid locking-in vulnerability. There are USD 1.7 trillion of opportunities for investments in adaptation according to the Global Commission on Adaptation, yet recorded finance flows are a small fraction of what is required. This session will explore how to achieve a step-change in finance flows for adaptation, moving from small projects to the needed economy-wide transition. It will identify priorities for enhanced public-private collaboration to help unlock capital at scale.
