Issue 19: The Riches of Resilience — The Smart Money Profiting From the World’s Biggest Mispriced Risk

Issue 19: The Riches of Resilience — The Smart Money Profiting From the World’s Biggest Mispriced Risk

Exploring why climate adaptation is quietly becoming one of the highest‐return strategies in corporate finance, and how climate risk assessments are turning floods, heatwaves and supply‐chain shocks into investable resilience projects. As physical risks start to bite and lenders tighten their expectations, we explore how firms, from Unilever to Maersk and data centre operators, are discovering that the real premium now lies in resilience.
