Climate Proofers: Dr Nicola Ranger on Nature, Adaptation, and the Financial Sector

Today’s guest on Climate Proofers is a true climate finance polymath.

Dr Nicola Ranger is a seasoned pro on all things adaptation, resilience, and nature in the finance arena, having set up or assumed leadership roles at multiple initiatives, including the UK’s Greening Finance for Nature and the innovative Resilient Planet Finance Lab.

We discuss her current research priorities and the state-of-play in adaptation and resilience among commercial financial institutions, as well as:

👉 Why financial institutions should address nature risks and fold nature issues in with their adaptation and mitigation efforts

👉 The systemic risks to the economy and financial system threatened by nature loss

👉 The hype around nature-based solutions

👉 Quantifying the financial upside of embedding resilience in investment decisions

👉 How to leverage public financial institutions to stimulate greater private capital flows into adaptation and resilience

Future guests include Morgan Richmond of the Climate Policy Initiative, and Craig Davies of the specialist consultancy Cadlas.
