The Global Adaptation & Resilience Investment Working Group (GARI) released its discussion paper, “Bridging the Adaptation Gap,” reporting that 70 percent of private investors surveyed see both risk and investment opportunity from the impact of climate change. According to GARI, 78 percent of 101 surveyed investors and other stakeholders thought evaluating the physical risk from climate change was “very important,” while 70 percent would consider making investments that supported adaptation to climate change or climate change resilience now. Bridging the Adaptation Gap describes the discussions of over 150 private investors and other stakeholders who met five times in 2016 to focus on approaches to measurement of physical climate risk and examples of investment in climate adaptation and resilience.
