Designing a climate resilience classification framework to facilitate investment in climate resilience through capital markets
The purpose of this report is to encourage investment in disaster and climate resilience by introducing a Climate Resilience Classification Framework. This framework will assist companies and investors in identifying investment opportunities in the midst of a changing climate. Depending on their contribution to resilience and avoidance of maladaptation and significant harm, investment opportunities may be automatically eligible, require standardised checks, or require further assessment to qualify for funding through climate resilience bonds. The Resilience Technical Advisory Group (RTAG) will further develop this initial framework, as outlined in the white paper.
The paper outlines what resilience would entail in seven climate resilience systemic themes:
- Resilient Agri-Food systems
- Resilient Cities
- Resilient Health
- Resilient Infrastructure
- Resilient Industry & Commerce
- Resilient Nature & Biodiversity
- Resilient Societies
