As climate change accelerates, the world is facing more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and other unprecedented environmental challenges. But how do we adapt to these changes? Why isn’t simply reducing carbon emissions enough? And what will adaptation mean for vulnerable regions, businesses, and everyday people?
In this episode, David Wortmann from DWR eco sits down with Henry Neufeldt, Head of Impact Assessment and Adaptation Analysis at UNEP’s Copenhagen Climate Centre, to dive into these questions. Together, they break down what climate adaptation really means, explore its urgency, and discuss the role of adaptation policy. They also look at the adaptation finance gap, which stands at a staggering $194-366 billion per year, and consider how public and private sectors can work together to close it.
Following this discussion, Nikolas Samios, Managing Partner of PT1, and Kamil Kluza, Co-Founder & COO of Climate X, join to share how data-driven business solutions are helping organizations adapt. In the episode wrap-up, David and Nikolas highlight the key takeaways, leaving listeners with a clear understanding of why climate adaptation is essential—and how we can start preparing for the future.
Tune in to learn about the crucial steps we need to take to adapt to our changing world.
