Improving the Capacity of Communities to Adapt to Climate Risk

Global Impact Investing Network

December 9, 2024

Investors need guidance to support measuring, managing, and optimizing the impact of their investments. By focusing on addressing climate risk, this new resource on IRIS+ does just that!

The climate adaptation and resilience theme provides investors the clarity they need to make better decisions when it comes to allocating capital to investments that seek to

  • help communities adapt to climate risk
  • increase agricultural resilience through technology
  • improve the resilience of electrical grids
  • improve households’ resilience to flood risk

 

Moving more money to investments that help us adapt and be more resilient to extreme weather will make a huge difference in everyone’s lives by supporting farmers, reducing power outages, protecting our neighbours from floods, and much more. But we have to pick up the pace, and we have to do so with integrity by using impact measurement and management tools that tell us how investing can drive positive real-world outcomes.
