Financing Climate Adaptation and Resilience
Meggie Eloy
5 years: Technical analysis
In this video, Meggie explores why adapting to climate change is just as vital as cutting emissions. She breaks down the key differences between adaptation and resilience, highlighting why investment in climate-proof infrastructure, food systems, and public health is essential for long-term stability.

- Substantial contribution to climate resilience: Projects must meaningfully reduce risks (e.g., flood defences) or address climate stressors (e.g., water efficiency in drought-prone regions)
- Avoiding maladaptation: Investments must not worsen climate vulnerability, such as creating social inequities while reducing emissions
- Avoiding significant harm: Projects should not undermine other sustainability goals, like biodiversity loss from large-scale renewable energy projects
- Resilient agrifood systems: Strengthening food security amid climate shifts
- Resilient industry and commerce: Making supply chains and production more climate-proof
- Resilient cities: Designing urban spaces that withstand extreme weather
- Resilient health: Protecting public health from climate-related risks
- Resilient infrastructure: Building durable energy, transport, and water systems
- Resilient nature and biodiversity: Enhancing ecosystems to mitigate climate impacts
- Resilient societies: Strengthening social structures and governance for climate adaptation
