<p>The impacts of climate change are hitting the world everywhere, all at once — making climate adaptation more urgent than ever before.</p><p>This week on Everybody in the Pool, we’re flipping the script on climate adaption; no longer viewing it as a funding gap, but as an investment opportunity that could bring lots of types of finance to the table for returns and impact. Niall Murphy, co-founder and managing partner of Morphosis, sits down with Molly to discuss how the world can scale solutions for an already-changing climate, and why the private sector needs to get involved in the new “adaptation economy.”</p><p><br></p><h3>We talk about:</h3><ul><li>What living beyond 1.5 degrees means for adaptation</li><li>How 90% of adaptation funding is currently public money, and why that can’t scale to meet the demand</li><li>The case for viewing climate impacts as emerging markets and investment opportunities</li><li>Why insurers’ panic is actually the tipping point we’ve been waiting for</li><li>Real examples of commercially viable adaptation solutions, from solar-filtering polymers to micro-scale desalination</li><li>The policy gaps that are holding back deployment</li><li>How Morphosis aggregates capital to deploy solutions where they're needed most</li></ul><p><br></p><h3>Links:</h3><ul><li>Morphosis: <a href="https://www.morphosis.solutions/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.morphosis.solutions/</a></li><li>All episodes: <a href="https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/</a></li><li>Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: <a href="https://www.mollywood.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mollywood.co/</a></li><li>Become a member for the ad-free version of the show: <a href="https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/</a></li></ul><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
