Climate resilience investments are currently not well understood by investors, and therefore practical frameworks are needed to inform investment decisions. Few companies today self-identify as “climate resilience” or “adaptation” companies. However, established, market-driven approaches can be used to identify companies that provide climate resilience and adaptation solutions. Many taxonomies exist to identify climate resilience companies, yet these models may be limited to specific regions, focus only on emerging technologies, or tend towards needs assessments rather than solutions. A new model has been developed and peer-reviewed for identifying climate resilience and adaptation companies that is known as the “CRISP Framework.”
