Building an investable resilience market: from projects to capital stacks

Scaling private investment in climate adaptation and resilience is increasingly a challenge of execution rather than ambition. The economic case is well established, yet capital mobilisation continues to lag particularly in lower-income and climate-vulnerable contexts. This practitioner-led session examines how investable resilience markets are developing, focusing on established models and innovations to be scaled or replicated.

This session will explore practical solutions to the barriers holding resilience investment back, from weak project pipelines and long development timelines to challenges around scale and risk allocation. Speakers will showcase innovative financing models, including blended finance and insurance-linked approaches, that are successfully attracting different sources of capital and helping make resilience investments more viable.

The discussion will conclude by looking ahead at how governments, public finance and investors can work together to build a stronger and more investable resilience market.
