Why Two Degrees Adapt?
The world has warmed by 1.1°C since the late 1800s, and climate model projections suggest that 2°C will be exceeded during the 21st century unless deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions occur in the coming decades. While it is imperative that we reduce the causes of climate change as a society, we must also respond to climate change impacts as they occur. Investments in adaptation strategies are crucial to reduce climate risk and to protect vital infrastructure.
The team at Two Degrees Adapt has developed a proprietary process for localizing climate science, analyzing economic impacts, identifying adaptation strategies, and defining the investment opportunity. While others may stop there, we also bring together investors, technology providers, businesses, and cities who will benefit most from the adaptation strategies.
Working with Two Degrees, you get an expert partner that provides the confidence, knowledge, and roadmap to guide your investment decisions.
Mission
Two Degrees Adapt makes climate resilience actionable for organizations in the public and private sectors to accelerate the deployment of climate adaptation technologies that benefit all.
“Climate change is moving faster than we are – and its speed has provoked a sonic boom SOS across our world.”
