Invested by Europe: How to Play Defence Against Climate Change

Climate action is about more than cutting emissions. Even if
mitigation succeeds, societies and economies will continue to
face climate risks for years to come. Climate adaptation is how
those risks are managed.


In this episode of Invested by Europe, we speak with
Roman Röhrl, climate change specialist at the
European Investment Bank, about what climate adaptation really
means and how it works in practice. The conversation explores how
adaptation helps protect people, infrastructure and economic
activity from climate hazards such as flooding, heatwaves and
drought.


The episode looks at why adaptation needs to be built into
investment decisions across sectors, how long‑term finance and
clear standards can help scale up resilience, and the role that
institutions, policymakers and the financial sector play in
supporting climate‑resilient development.


Invested by Europe is the European Investment Bank’s video
podcast exploring how Europe invests in its future — from climate
and energy to housing, infrastructure and social cohesion.
