Historically, climate resilience focused on recovering from disasters after the fact, but companies are increasingly spending money before disasters happen on adaptation to reduce exposure to fires, floods, extreme weather, and supply-chain disruptions.
According to MSCI’s new report, The Hidden Adaptation Economy, 47% of publicly traded companies are already generating revenue from products or services that help customers adapt to climate risks, while roughly 96% of the 9,000 companies studied reportedly have some form of climate-adaptation investment on their books.
The overall market value of companies supplying these adaptation solutions—ranging from precision weather intelligence to wind-resistant building materials—is expected to expand from $2 trillion today to $9 trillion by 2050. [1]
Hear more about this from Jeff at the NYSE, including his thoughts on insurance incentives for adaptation, catastrophe bonds, concerns about AI, and the broader market outlook heading into the mid-term elections.
