Adaptation: The other half of climate survival
At COP30, the spotlight has shifted from slowing climate change to surviving it.
As temperatures soar and disasters intensify, the global conversation is turning toward adaptation — strengthening communities, cities, and economies to withstand a hotter, harsher world.
From Phoenix’s “heat-ready” initiatives and Venice’s flood barriers to new climate resilience bonds in Tokyo, adaptation is no longer a distant goal. It’s an urgent necessity — and a major opportunity for innovation.
Every dollar invested in resilience pays dividends — economically and socially. Yet, adaptation financing remains far below what’s needed.
