Agenda

Floods, droughts, and extreme weather events generate ever-increasing costs for the economy, infrastructure, and local governments. This year, the effects of global extreme weather events driven partly by super El Niño have once again demonstrated how deeply weather disruption affects food security, water access, urban functioning, and supply chain stability. Is Poland ready for a new climate reality? What sectors of the economy are most vulnerable to climate change? How to finance adaptation efforts and the development of resilient infrastructure? A debate about the economy of adaptation, business risk, and the price of inactivity.
