"As floods, fires and heatwaves grow more frequent and destructive, new
research shows that climate adaptation isn’t just urgent. It’s also one of the
smartest investments governments can make.
According to a new report from the World Resources Institute (WRI), every €1
spent on climate adaptation will yield roughly €10 in benefits over a decade.
That figure comes from analysing 320 projects across 12 countries, including
infrastructure upgrades, health system improvements and disaster risk
management schemes. All told, they amounted to more than €1 trillion in
projected returns.
“This research has pried open the lid on what resilience is truly worth – and
even that first glimpse is staggering," said Sam Mugume Koojo, co-chair of the
Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action from Uganda."
