Climate Proofers: Morgan Richmond on Tracking Adaptation Finance Flows

“Climate finance” encompasses a broad universe of instruments and activities.

Morgan Richmond, manager at the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI), is a seasoned pro at sifting through the many, many transactions that fall under this moniker and discovering what sorts of financing are making their way toward climate adaptation and resilience.

In today’s Climate Proofers, Morgan discusses the findings of the CPI’s State and Trends in Climate Adaptation Finance 2023 report and digs into some of the issues her research has unearthed.
