Portuguese firms host COP31 roundtable on who pays for climate-proof infrastructure

The Equator Company is hosting a roundtable at the Portugal Pavilion at COP31 in Antalya, on 11 November, on building and financing infrastructure that can withstand climate change. Speakers come from transport, insurance, water and development banking, and will look at who carries the risk and how to draw in adaptation investment. The talks follow COP30's call to at least triple adaptation finance by 2035, which named neither a baseline year nor who should pay. Each participant is to commit to one concrete step for the next 12 months. The discussion continues in Lisbon on 17 November.
