The world can deal with the potentially catastrophic risks of climate change only by changing the pattern of investment in the global economy to climate friendly activity. But to do that, a different set of risks have to be addressed, the risks perceived by investors to be inevitable in new technologies and new geographies, often in both at the same time. Increased transparency of climate risks and the gradual greening of the global financial system are helpful trends.
These are some of the things Howard Bamsey will speak about, showcasing GWP's model for strong governance of water resources, enhanced water security and a platform for successful adaptation.
