Webinar 2: Innovations in Adaptation Finance
August 25, 2020 | 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET  

The challenge of climate resilience is mostly local. But local governments don’t have the capacities, including financial wherewithal, to cope alone during the next decades. Innovative bond initiatives, public private partnerships, and collaborations with States can each play a unique role in creating the climate-resilience financial system that local governments need.

Join adaptation and finance experts from Quantified Ventures, Climate Resilience Consulting, and re:focus partners as they share best practices and real life case studies that demonstrate how innovative finance tools like environmental impact bonds (QV), green banks (CRC) and public private partnerships (re:focus) are putting adaptation projects in the ground and making communities across the country more resilient in the face of climate change.
