Insights from the final day of the UN Conference on Climate Change

Adaptation and resilience measures are critical, but substantially under-funded. Some experts say innovation and imagination will play big roles in the solution.

Mitigation alone isn’t going to be enough to combat climate risk. Corporates, governments, and other leaders will also need to consider adaptation and resilience plans.

To decarbonize, many organizations will likely have to embed new technologies in their operations. That will create opportunities for incumbent companies and startups alike.

The transition to zero-carbon energy isn’t going to be a single shift, but a set of interrelated, system-level shifts. What will it take to get things moving quickly toward net-zero emissions?

For the world to achieve net-zero emissions, trillions of dollars in capital would have to be deployed. What strategies and mechanisms would enable this reallocation to take place?

Cities drive almost three-quarters of emissions and are on the front lines of climate risks. Meeting the decarbonization goals of the next decade will involve rapid changes to how people work, move, and live in them.
