Current and future flood risk of new build homes across different socio-economic neighbourhoods in England and Wales, Rözer, Viktor, Surminski, Swenja

Climate change is already disrupting economies. Swenja Surminski explains why investing in climate adaptation is essential to reduce losses, strengthen resilience and support future economic growth.

Climate change is already disrupting economies. Swenja Surminski explains why investing in climate adaptation is essential to reduce losses, strengthen resilience and support future economic growth.

Are we entering the age of investing in climate resilience? The answer is increasingly yes – though not by default. What is still missing is the market plumbing that allows private capital to move more efficiently: better translation of data into decisions, more meaningful disclosure, stronger asset- and system-level design standards, and instruments such as resilience bonds, write Swenja Surminski, Keith Guthrie and Vanessa Hodge. Physical climate hazards such as heatwaves, floods, droughts and wildfires are growing in frequency, severity and financial footprint, making resilience commercially relevant across regions, sectors and asset classes. But investors are operating in a period of genuine volatility: shifting geopolitics and fractured supply chains only add to a growing sense that the assumptions underpinning long-term portfolios no longer hold. A known risk – with uncertain tails In that context, climate change is, in one important sense, one of the better-known quantities we have: much of the change that will occur in the next few decades is already locked into the physical system. We know, with reasonable confidence, how much warming is already unavoidable, how heat, flooding and drought will intensify, where and with what level of severity. That predictability is precisely what makes the economic...

The heat waves, typhoons, floods and wildfires we're seeing right now are a sobering reminder: we are living with a changing climate, and it's affecting communities, businesses, and natural environments all over the world. New research shows how this is a threat to economic growth and wellbeing. While much of the public debate focuses on cutting emissions, a report, "The Macroeconomic Case for Investing in Climate Adaptation" by James Rising, Nick Godfrey, Paul Watkiss, Swenja Surminski, Daniela Baeza Breinbauer, María Paula Gutiérrez-Hurtado and Maria João Pimenta, calls for attention to similarly be placed on ensuring adaptation is financially viable. Swenja Surminski, Professor in Practice at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at LSE and co-author of the report, says while cutting emissions remains non-negotiable, it is no longer enough on its own. There is an equally urgent need to strengthen resilience to the climate impacts we can no longer avoid. "Reducing emissions is essential — full stop," she says. "But it's not a substitute for adaptation. We don't get to choose between cutting emissions and adapting to their impact. The climate change that's already locked in demands both." “We use the term climate adaptation to refer...
