Climate adaptation investments bring tenfold return over 10 years: WRI
"Climate adaptation is not just a safety net but a launch pad for development."
A WRI study of 320 climate adaptation investments across 12 countries has found that every US$1 invested in resilience generates more than US$10 in benefits over 10 years.
This calculation is based on three key types of returns: avoided losses from climate disasters; induced economic gains such as job creation and increased crop yields; and broader social and environmental benefits.
