Financing Resilience: Where is the Return on Investment?
Private sector actors are increasingly looking to invest in products and services that tolerate the shocks and risks associated with a changing global climate. While the merits of this strategy are clear, the returns on such investments have yet to be explored in great depth. Join Winrock International for a seminar and panel discussion introducing techniques and examples of how the private sector can incorporate solutions to reduce risks while also measurably capturing returns.
This event is open to the public and can be attended in person or via webinar. Register to attend the live in-person event or webinar by clicking the "Register" link at the bottom of this email.
