Climate change is having a devastating impact on New Zealand and the world, causing costly damage and causing suffering to communities.  As the situation worsens, it's becoming increasingly important to invest in infrastructure that can withstand the extreme weather conditions caused by climate change. This is not only important for the government, but also for investors who want to ensure the long-term sustainability of their investments and contribute to greater resilience.

The seminar on mobilising investment to build climate-resilient infrastructure may be viewed above, providing a valuable opportunity to learn about this vital problem and explore ways investors can take action.

Dr. David Hall joined the panel and shared insights from his report on investment in climate resilience which can be found here.

He was joined by Professor James Renwick, a leading New Zealand and IPCC climate researcher, who presented the severe climate risks facing New Zealand households, infrastructure, and businesses. The seminar provided a platform for discussion on the importance of investing in infrastructure that could withstand the impacts of climate change.

Now, the seminar is available for anyone to watch and gain a deeper understanding of the topic. Don't miss the chance to learn from experts in the field and gain valuable insights into this pressing issue.
