Adaptation is a major focus of #COP30.

Over 50% of monetized benefits from adaptation investments can occur even without climate shocks. In other words, adaptation is far more than a safety net — it’s a launchpad for growth.

Globally, 80% of people want their countries to take stronger climate action, and over half think about climate change daily or weekly.

Far from being split, humanity is largely united on wanting to do more.

But how can we help move the needle? Find out: go.wri.org/climate-choi...

This is what we think will matter most at #ClimateWeekNYC.

Electricity demand is surging to power AI and transport and to combat extreme heat.

Next week in New York leaders must act: triple renewables, modernize grids, protect people.
