Hundreds of millions of people with the effects of global warming in real time – a bit ‘irreversible. For those facing vorderster of climate change, adaptation mechanisms for development is a matter of survival. Yet the world is to reduce not enough attention to the need to pay for a warming planet in addition to our efforts to adapt our carbon emissions. We desperately need more resources, more cooperation and more political will to carry out adjustments to a global priority. The good news is that the adjustment, well done is not only to do the right thing, it is also good business sense. The World Commission on adaptation, which I co-founded about a year ago, with Bill Gates and the World Bank Kristalina Georgieva CEO, estimates that $1.8 trillion for investment climate resilience to improve between now and 2030 in five areas critical – warning against the cyclones and hurricanes, robust infrastructure, would result in $7.1 Katherine net benefits – improved aridocoltura, protection of mangrove and safety in the water. Today announced the launch of flagship report sees the organization as they can customize the people better to the effects of climate change, and it is clear that the investment the economic benefits from elastically infrastructure – bridges in the stable, more shelters and storm barriers – is far cost for reconstruction. By reducing the risk, adaptation reduces the financial and insurance costs and makes it more attractive investments in places that otherwise appear to be uncertain. Canary Wharf in London and other real estate projects in east London would be complete without the protection of the Thames barrier, it could not have been a series of movable cylindrical steel doors, which are in operation since 1982 by holding back tidal waves and floods, the barrier will help protect 1.3 million people, below the average level of the Thames floods live or work, as well as extensive real estate and infrastructure from flooding. No wonder, then, that New York and New Jersey are planning to build its own barrier of a storm. The Thames Barrier holds another lesson for investors: a little more effort in advance climate-proof infrastructure offers higher yields for longer. In a recent study, the World Bank estimated that the production of more resilient infrastructure around 3% of start-up costs, but increases the yield adds 300%. community resources are already adapting to climate change, with the ingenuity and solutions ranging from Green Tech Biotech to high human technology field. In 2017, Miami was to fund the first city in the world to issue municipal bonds climate adaptation scale, and could be a model for how to fund public investment in robust infrastructure. To capture Shanghai districts with wetlands, roof gardens, parks and permeable pavement, slow down and greening rainwater filter. For about 20 years has been to invest in early warning systems for natural disasters, Bangladesh were; in the construction of shelters; and evacuation of implementation exercises. In May, when they hit Cyclone Fani, India and Bangladesh displaced more than 2 million people out of the danger zone. And in the Sahel region of Africa, a “Great Green Wall” is now visible from space, such as coaxial shafts farmers rootstock back to life. The knowledge and the natural regeneration benefits are shared between farmers in African countries, and has been recovered millions of acres. These are bright spots where the adjustment has begun, but we need to do so with greater urgency and scale. Do not we owe our climate emergency with a failure of imagination connection.
