In May, climate proofers from across the world gathered in New York for Adapt Unbound USA, a pioneering conference on the emerging adaptation economy.

Experts from tech, finance, and policy held forth on topics ranging from how to prepare cities for climate change to building industry-wide collaborations.

ClimateProof’s Louie Woodall moderated the last panel of the day on closing the adaptation capital gap, with adaptation veterans Emilie Mazzacurati (Tailwind), Maelis Carraro (Catalyst Fund), Anish Patel (Yamaha Motor Ventures), and Sonam Velani (Streetlife Ventures).

Thanks to the good folk at Unbound Summits, this week’s podcast features a recording of that panel, so you can hear direct from these big hitters on what’s behind the adaptation finance gap and how to close it.

An edited transcript of the panel is also available here for those who prefer to read.
