Strengthening urban resilience has immense potential to increase equity and prosperity in cities, but it requires significant investment to be fully realized. While insurance plays a vital role, it cannot solve these challenges alone. Cities urgently need financial resources to harness the full potential of insurance in making climate adaptation possible. By providing senior city decision-makers with data on the future costs of inaction, they can better understand the cost-effectiveness of investing in adaptation now.

The final Cities on the Frontline session of the year, "De-risking the Future: Climate Risk, Public-Private Collaboration, and the Value of Insurance”, developed through The Global Risk and Resilience Fellowship, will explore case studies from Greater Manchester and Cape Town. These examples illustrate how cities and the private sector have partnered to quantify climate risk costs for communities and assets, demonstrating how different approaches can guide investments and adaptation strategies for cities and utilities.
