Across Asia, a vast and growing chasm separates the climate risks communities already face from the capital available to help them endure those risks. Singapore's Monetary Authority has named the root of the problem: unlike carbon reduction, resilience has no common currency — no shared unit by which investors can weigh one adaptation project against another. Until that language is built, the $422 billion Asia needs by 2030 to prepare for intensifying climate impacts will remain largely unspoken for, even as the losses mount.
