Impact investing seeks measurable social, environmental & governance outcomes alongside financial returns. It involves diverse investors—private, public & philanthropic—working across a spectrum of capital & each using tailored strategies to achieve impact https://t.co/8gfoszfcki

With 1.2 billion people at high risk from climate-related hazards, adapting to climate impacts requires more $$$. @WorldBank reports "every $1 spent on adaptation returns $4 in benefits" however, only 5% of climate finance $63M is dedicated to adaptation. https://t.co/mtYjeFOMZR

Mobilizing finance, especially private sector, to help protect our planet is essential. Biodiversity credits are one financial mechanism to attract investment. Leading thought partners have assembled guidelines on this opportunity, check it out: @wef

Smart design and investment with multiple benefits. 🇳🇱 In honor of today’s match ⚽️

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.

Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

I started working on #ManagedRetreat at the @SabinCenter during/after #Sandy in 2012. Some thoughts on how I’ve seen the conversations on Retreat grow over the last decade 🧵
(I dug up this old photo of my @columbiaclimate desk, and some things don't change much)

Flooded homes in Houston show how natural disasters are leaving homeowners and communities vulnerable. @betterbuyout Buy-In Community Planning, a 2021 Resilient Ecosystems Solver team, is improving the property buyout process.

[A.R. Siders @sidersadapts]

I think about timelines and scale a lot. If rebuilding today feels right, but rebuilding forever feels wrong, then a scaffold is needed to support transition from one to the other. That scaffold is missing.

@KerilynSchewel At @betterbuyout we’re working with communities/individuals impacted by natural hazards— & are hoping to answer: who wants to move, under what conditions, where do they want to go, what happens to the land left behind— to provide equitable resources & support proactive planning.

Many people are threatened by natural disasters and not only are their homes and communities at risk, their health and quality of life are also impacted. Research on climate change and cancer prevention.
