Cities have always been humanity’s greatest engines of opportunity, invention, and community. Today, cities are also where the consequences of climate change are felt most acutely. Floods, heat waves, storms, and rising seas are reshaping how billions of people live, work, and thrive. As we confront these risks, cities are at the forefront of climate adaptation. The economic stakes are immense - climate adaptation represents a multi-trillion dollar opportunity in technology, infrastructure, and finance. How we invest in resilient buildings, water systems, cooling infrastructure, insurance mechanisms, and community preparedness will determine the livability of our cities in the decades to come. To succeed, we must connect the dots between climate tech, policy, and finance to scale adaptation solutions quickly and equitably. This session will bring together climate adaptation startups, investors, corporate buyers, and policymakers to discuss how adaptation is being implemented in cities across the globe. Topics for discussion will include: How financing models like parametric insurance can accelerate adaptation at scale The experience of startups piloting flood protection, heat mitigation, and water resilience solutions in urban environments How New York City and other urban hubs are positioning themselves as test beds for climate adaptation technologies A pecha-kucha style showcase of adaptation solutions will include startups across the following themes: Flood & Water Resilience: Tova, Field Factors Heat & Cooling: Every Electric, Cala Systems Insurance & Finance: Althea, Future Proof, Ocean Ledger Data & Infrastructure: Rhizome, Aaarden Materials Innovation: Eztia, Aqua Membranes Please also join us for great people, great food, and great conversation after the presentations in the heart of New York - with special thanks to our sponsors at Brown Rudnick!
