AN ARTICLE A DAY, PICKED BY OUR EDITORS
How can you help people weather a changing climate if you don’t fully understand all the ways it affects them? It’s vital to consider that perspective when creating solutions to protect communities—especially given that, by 2030, nearly one in four people could be exposed to a climate hazard severe enough to affect their lives or livelihoods. As COP26 continues, new analysis, stemming from McKinsey’s knowledge partnership with Race to Resilience, offers a detailed, independent global assessment that can help. Check out the findings in an article on how to build resilience and safeguard those most vulnerable to climate threats.

Quote of the Day
“On the technology side, we think there’s a revolution. But the challenge, I think, for most of the companies in this space is that they operate where technology meets the real world—and the real world still moves at the pace of real world. This is why implementation will be more of an evolution, even if the underlying technologies are probably a revolution.”
—Andreea Constantinescu, partner, Planet First Partners, in “Climate technology: A new frontier for innovation and growth,” from McKinsey’s COP26 Daily coverage
