In this summary briefing, Morphosis outlines a first-of-its-kind integrated policy framework designed to accelerate investment and innovation in climate adaptation.
In collaboration with the Center for Sustainability Studies at Fundação Getulio Vargas, Instituto Itaúsa, the Paulson Institute, and Basilinna, “The Rise of the Adaptation Economy” builds on the evolving body of work on adaptation economics by academics, think tanks, consultancies, international organisations and businesses.
Our policy perspectives and recommendations are encapsulated in this paper as the first generally applicable policy framework for advancing adaptation markets and economies. Designed to help guide governments in developing robust adaptation finance markets, the framework provides a roadmap for how countries can design policies and incentives that attract investment, stimulate innovation, and mobilise capital toward adaptation-focused businesses and projects.
Although still at an early stage, our efforts are helping to shed light on where, why and how adaptation-related goods, services and investment flows are already emerging in practice and have provided a foundation for identifying policy areas and measures that can unlock adaptation markets more broadly in both the global south and global north.
