​Join us for the launch of a new joint report from the Grantham Research Institute, CETEx, and the Centre for Economic Performance at LSE and the Grantham Institute at º£½ÇÉçÇø: Catalysing Climate Resilience: current strengths and future innovations. The report presents the findings of a study examining the extent to which climateÌýchangeÌýadaptationÌýtechnologies—beyond their strategic importance for resilience—also represent promising areas for economic growth.
​While the growth potential associated with climate change mitigation is well established,Ìýthe economic opportunities linked toÌýclimate changeÌýadaptation have received far less attention. We hope this report will stimulate greater exploration of how innovation for climate resilience can be supported and how it might contribute to the UK’s future growth.
​The UK is particularly well positioned to lead in this space, given its existing strengths in sectors such as life sciences,ÌýengineeringÌýand financial services. The study draws on multiple evidence sources—including patent analysis, marketÌýassessmentÌýand case studies—to evaluate UK capabilities andÌýidentifyÌýadaptation-related sectors with strong potential for growth.
​The format will include a presentation of the research findings and a panel discussion with speakers from academia and industry.
