Event Q&A
From Climate Risk to Climate Resilience: The Future of Sovereign Risk and Adaptation Finance
Physical climate risk is emerging as a significant factor in sovereign and corporate credit assessments, while adaptation is increasingly being recognised as a financial stability issue. In this Q&A, Dr. Arthur Krebbers explores how investors are incorporating climate resilience into risk analysis, the challenges associated with financing adaptation at scale, and why sovereign bond markets may increasingly price climate preparedness in the years ahead. He also outlines what a climate-resilient financial system could look like by 2040.
