    The Compelling Investment Case for Climate Adaptation

    New WRI research finds that investing $1 in adaptation can yield more than $10.50 in benefits over 10 years. This reflects not only the avoided losses from climate impacts, but also a wide range of economic, social and environmental benefits that are generated even when disasters don't occur. In other words, adaptation is not just a crucial response to the climate crisis; it is also one of the smartest investments of our time.
