“We didn’t just rebuild—we reimagined what safety looks like.”
In just a few minutes, David Kotok, co-founder and strategic advisor of Cumberland Advisors, delivers a powerful reality check: climate change is not tomorrow’s problem. It’s a financial, economic, and existential crisis unfolding now. But within that crisis lies a business opportunity—if we’re bold enough to seize it.
Kotok outlines how climate adaptation is no longer optional. Rising risks—from floods to fires—are becoming the largest economic shock of our generation. The question is not if we adapt, but how fast we do it. Kotok points out that traditional economic and financial systems must adjust their behavior before it’s too late.
That’s why the Climate Adaptation Center (CAC) matters.
Five years ago, CAC was just an idea—today it’s a movement. A group of forward-thinkers turned belief into action, transforming CAC into a powerful organization that connects the dots between science, finance, and community resilience. They champion innovations like flood barriers and mitigation infrastructure while building awareness in the investment world.
CAC isn’t just informing policy—it’s driving market behavior. It empowers businesses and governments to understand and invest in adaptation strategies that save lives and protect economies. Their work isn’t charity—it’s strategy, and it’s the kind we all need to support.
This video is more than a talk—it’s a rallying cry. It challenges us to recognize that the transition from fear to action, from damage to defense, starts with organizations like CAC. By supporting them, donors become part of a larger shift—helping communities, investors, and policymakers move from denial to defense.
Climate adaptation isn’t just survival. It’s smart economics.
Support CAC. Fund the future.
