The following article, written by Theo Bachrach, Campaign Manager at Resilience Rising, delves into the results of the Resilience First roundtable discussion on “Accelerating Private Sector Leadership on Climate Resilience – making the business case”. The main takeaway from this discussion is that the private sector is not giving enough importance to resilience and adaptation measures at a pace and level that is required to counter the effects of climate change. This puts businesses at a higher risk of incurring severe economic damages and impacts. The article stresses the need for immediate action to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
