Discussion Panel – Building Resilience for a New Climate Reality

Extreme weather events are reshaping our economic landscape by affecting asset values, disrupting supply chains, and putting pressure on urban, coastal, and industrial economies. The financial burden of disaster recovery often overshadows the need for a proactive approach to risk management and resilience-building. This session will convene senior policymakers alongside leaders from finance, insurance, and business to explore innovative solutions and define what it means to invest in resilience. By reframing resilience as a long-term value proposition, rather than a mere cost, we can ensure communities remain livable, investable, and economically vibrant.
