Emilie Mazzacurati On Tailwind Climate's Adaptation Playbook
Climate adaptation technology isn’t getting a lot of love from markets right now. Extreme weather shocks may be on track to inflict some US$560bn or so of losses on listed companies every year by 2035, but so far very little early investor money is going into adaptation and resilience (A&R) solutions. That’s according to new analysis by Tailwind Climate, an adaptation-focused advisory and investment firm, which last week released a 112-page playbook on A&R tech and financing. In this episode of Climate Proofers, Emilie Mazzacurati — Tailwind’s Co-Founder — joins to discuss the playbook’s contents, and some of its findings on government, consumer, and corporate spending on climate-proofing goods and activities. She also shares what A&R solutions have got her excited, and ideas on how to unlock many more millions of dollars for startups and innovations in this space.
