Morgan Richmond on tracking adaptation finance flows
A trillion here, a billion there... climate finance is a study in big numbers, but it's important to look beyond the top-line figures to really understand where the money's all going – and whether it's being put to good use. Morgan Richmond at the Climate Policy Initiative, an independent nonprofit, is a seasoned pro when it comes to tracking climate finance flows. She heads up the Initiative's adaptation finance agenda, and recently put together its State and Trends in Climate Adaptation Finance report. Louie and Morgan discuss the report's findings and the hard work of properly accounting for climate-proofing capital flows, plus the role of different financial organizations in constructing the adaptation finance ecosystem.
