She spent a decade at NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) leading research on seasonal climate prediction, mountain snowpack, extreme storms, water security, climate economics, and climate impacts. The framework was developed with input from four dedicated working groups, numerous bilateral consultations, and a public consultation phase. This inclusive approach ensures that CRIF 1.0 reflects the practical needs and insights of a wide range of investors, data providers, and market actors. For example, the Sustainable Urban Development Project in Fortaleza, Brazil, restored natural wetlands in Rachel de Quieroz Park to help soak up and hold stormwater.

By mapping necessary actions, identifying accountable stakeholders, and linking reform to key milestones, the Compass is more than a progress tracker—it is a dynamic roadmap to align efforts, spotlight momentum, and push for greater ambition across the global climate finance landscape. “Implementing and developing the 112 emergency call system has become a crucial component in enhancing public safety in Ukraine and in aligning our infrastructure to European standards. Thanks to the EIB loan and support from European partners, we will be able to improve cooperation between emergency services, particularly through the automatic detection of the caller’s geolocation. We will strengthen our ability to assist individuals with hearing and speech impairments, as well as foreign citizens. This project is about enhancing the safety of our citizens and providing timely assistance to those in need,” said Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko.

They discuss their experiences of influencing and shaping the future of nature positive infrastructure.

You only have to watch the news to see how devastating extreme weather events can be, from last year’s forest fires in Australia to the largescale flooding we saw in Europe. As well as the terrible human and environmental impact these events had, there were also huge economic losses. And these impacts are set to become even more severe, as the impact of past and present greenhouse gas emissions will continue to drive climate change for decades to come – ramping up pressure on the global asset base.

It also created new public spaces and revitalized existing green areas, which can attract more visitors and businesses, raise property values, and improve water quality and living conditions. Crucially, the project emphasized social benefits for women, who make up most of Fortaleza’s population and are overrepresented in its low-income neighborhoods. Ethiopia’s Resilient Landscapes and Livelihoods Project restored degraded landscapes in selected watersheds through measures such as hillside terraces and tree planting. Together, these measures could improve soil health, reduce erosion and enhance watersheds, making the area more resilient to floods and droughts while also improving crop and livestock production.

The Compelling Investment Case for Climate Adaptation

To enhance Ukraine’s energy resilience, we have launched the Energy Rescue Plan, securing €600 million in EU-backed financing, including €86 million to build anti-drone shelters to protect critical electricity transmission infrastructure. These measures are crucial to maintaining stable power supply across the country amid ongoing challenges. In 2024, we signed over €250 million in new investment for projects to further enhance social infrastructure and support businesses that are the backbone of Ukraine’s economy. Every year of delay leaves communities exposed to escalating climate risks and foregoes significant economic, social and environmental benefits from resilient development. It’s time for governments and development partners to make one of the smartest investments for both people and the planet. Stewardship is the use of influence by investors to protect and enhance overall long-term value, including the value of common economic, social and environmental assets, on which returns and client and beneficiary interests depend.

In other words, adaptation is not just a crucial response to the climate crisis; it is also one of the smartest investments of our time. It provides recommended action points which can inspire investors in the development of their own individual A&R plans, but remains agnostic to the individual approach which must be context specific. Nigel Brook, Partner at Clyde & Co, also commented on the launch of the Coalition, which the law firm has signed up to, “The climate crisis will impact everyone.

It’s the first financial sector led initiative on climate change of its kind, bringing together 30 organisations from across the investment value chain to address climate resilience challenges. Supported by the CCRI board, the GI Hub is intended to take the role of Secretariat, responsible for collaborating with and supporting the CCRI legacy partners who will continue delivering the core programs begun by CCRI. This approach helps ensure continuation of the coalition’s pioneering work to integrate climate risks into investment decisionmaking.

The increasing convergence of the physical and virtual realms has exposed areas to cybersecurity threats that were previously insulated from such risks.

As independent fiduciaries, with their own strategies, policies and practices, based on their own best interests and in line with their overarching fiduciary duties to their clients and beneficiaries, it is for investors to individually decide how to design and implement their own A&R plans.

About Deloitte Insights

The institutions and financial mechanisms that determine how climate finance is mobilized, allocated, and delivered must overcome not just the climate finance deficit but also a systemic disconnect. In a space with a growing number of fragmented actors, the challenge will be to avoid duplicative efforts, harmonize scattered initiatives, and even out progress across institutions and countries. The projects include the €100 million “Ukraine Recovery III”, €100 million “Ukraine Water Recovery”, and the €100 million “Ukraine District Heating”, which will be channelled through Ukreximbank. These initiatives aim to ensure that millions of Ukrainians in more than 100 communities across the country have access to heating, water, hospitals, schools and housing for internally displaced people. The €120 million “Support of Ukrhydroenergo Stability and Recovery” loan to the largest hydropower generating company in Ukraine will help to restore hydropower plants and thus reinforce the Ukrainian energy system.
