Climate-Economic Models Under Fire, Europeans Lagging on Household Resilience, AI-Native Weather Satellites, and More
Climate Proof’s latest briefing highlights growing scrutiny of flawed climate-economic models that may be understating systemic risk, while also exposing weak household resilience across Europe and a persistent product-market fit challenge for adaptation technology. Read more.
Expert Agreement on Key Elements of Transformational Adaptation to Climate Risks
A new Nature Climate Change study uses a global delphi process to identify 13 core elements that define transformational adaptation - distinguishing it from incremental “business-as-usual” responses to climate risk. Read more.
Climate Risk Threatens Credit Ratings for Dozens of Countries
This Bloomberg UK article details research that shows escalating climate impacts are increasingly threatening sovereign creditworthiness. Read more.
