BUILDING CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN<br />
AMERICA’S CITIES<br />
Jonathan: The first piece of this is how do we take the good information and great analytical<br />
capabilities we have today, which are growing exponentially every day, and get them into the<br />
hands of the people who make these decisions? That's number one. The second piece is exactly<br />
what Jonathan was saying. We have a huge benefit that is not captured in the way we fund,<br />
finance, and transfer the risk of our investments. Right now, if you look at the balance of climate<br />
finance, which isn't a huge number to begin with, only 7% of climate finance goes to adaptation<br />
and resilience. The other 93% goes to mitigation because it's easier to measure.<br />
We need the same types of measurement and granularity around how we value these investments<br />
on the mitigation side. If we doubled resilience to just 14%, the amount of additional funding<br />
flowing into that space beneficial for companies, communities, and others is tremendous. That's<br />
a completely available opportunity for us, and those would be the two I would highlight right<br />
now.<br />
Jeff Terry: As a last word, what would be your recommendation on what needs to be done and<br />
where can we go from here?<br />
