Adaptation, not JUST Mitigation

Scientists have concluded that our goal to keep the world’s temperature rise below 1.5C is now impossible. Whilst mitigation remains the core pillar to climate strategy, the time has come for individuals and companies alike to prioritise an adaptive approach to the climate crisis. The survival of a company, and species, is now being seen through a lens of ‘what do I need to do to ensure future safety’, rather than ‘waiting to tread water against the current, when the flood comes’.


The Multi-Trillion-Dollar Opportunity

Adaptation action brings multiple benefits, also known as the triple dividend. From avoided losses to significant economic, social and environmental benefits, there is a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity to invest now and build healthier, fairer and more resilient world. This opportunity is yet to be fully realised, especially by the private sector.


A Global Convening for Climate Resilience

Adapt Unbound USA is the premier summit for exploring how public and private sectors can collaborate to tackle evolving climate risks, featuring case studies, impactful networking opportunities and a platform to showcase your solutions to key stakeholders.

Attend to connect with policy makers, corporate leaders, innovators and financiers, and implement strategies for safeguarding your business and community against evolving climate risks.
