... The climate is impacting our societies, disrupting our food security, infrastructure, water systems and coastal zones. Sea level rise, widespread wildfires and supply chain disruptions induced by harsher and more frequent severe weather events are only a few examples. As a result, climate adaptation and climate transition have become two important investment themes in modern times.

Conservative estimates by the Climate Policy Initiative are that climate finance flows need to reach US $4.3 trillion annually by 2030 to transition to a more
sustainable world this decade.

Investing in climate adaptation solutions like green, social and sustainability (GSS) bonds is improving vulnerable countries’ resiliency to climate risk, while industries are undertaking climate transition plans to move to a low-carbon economy. But more investment is needed if countries and companies are to meet their net zero goals.
