The National Sustainability in Business Conference will be held in Brisbane from the 23-24 March 2017.
Dr Zsuzsa Banhalmi-Zakar
Dr Zsuzsa Banhalmi-Zakar, Lecturer at James Cook University, QLD joins us at the conference to discuss ‘Opportunities and Challenges for Financing Climate Change Adaptation in Australia’.
While there is a great need for projects that help coastal communities adapt to the impacts of climate change, investment flows into adaptation are scarce. A recent study commissioned by the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility describes several ways to finance and/or fund the broad range of adaptation initiatives needed to secure coastal assets.
The study draws on interviews with 29 stakeholders from 25 different organisations representing all levels of government, institutional investors, banks, consultants and the insurance industry. This presentation will describe key features of adaptation initiatives from an investment perspective and showcase a range of potential finance mechanisms.
