🌍 Climate change could drive US$1.5 trillion in economic losses by 2050, with the world's most disadvantaged regions bearing the brunt. Yet less than 5% of global #adaptation #finance is currently directed towards health. The recent report by the World Economic Forum, produced in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), sheds light on how we can change this.  📖 ‘Building Economic Resilience to the Health Impacts of Climate Change’ explores solutions across food and agriculture, the built environment, healthcare, and insurance to protect workers and communities more broadly. “Investment in resilience is not just risk management; it’s a catalyst for innovation, cost savings, and sustainable growth,“ comments BwB CEO, Rupesh Madlani.  💬 Which sector – health, agriculture, or infrastructure – do you think is most critical for building resilience to climate impacts?

🌍 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲’𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝘆 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 BwB was delighted to join #EURegionsWeek 2025 in #Brussels, where cities, regions, and expert practitioners from across Europe came together to exchange ideas and accelerate progress on building a resilient, secure, and prosperous future for communities. An event highlight was celebrating 10 new cities achieving the EU Mission Label for their credible, investment-ready strategies to reach climate neutrality by 2030. With these new additions, the total number of Mission Labelled Cities now stands at 103. 💬 “Seeing so many cities step forward with clear, actionable plans for decarbonisation shows the momentum building behind Europe’s climate transition. Collaboration and capital mobilisation are key to turning their ambitions into action,” comments Renata Haseth, BwB Vice President. As a partner in the NetZeroCitiesEU platform, BwB is supporting this transition through the Climate City Capital Hub, which helps Mission Cities structure, finance, and deliver high-impact urban projects for a more resilient and sustainable future.

🌐 𝗕𝘄𝗕 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗨𝗡 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗼𝗿𝘀 BwB CEO, Rupesh Madlani, represented the firm on the sidelines of the 2025 UN Forum of Mayors, where the Global Cities Hub and the World Economic Forum brought together leaders for a high-level discussion on ‘Driving Public-Private Collaboration for Future-Ready Cities’. Key takeaways from the session included: • The importance of integrated approaches that link climate, nature, and social development.  • How blended finance and risk mitigation tools can unlock capital for frontier markets.  • The rising role of regional platforms and cross-sector partnerships in scaling impact beyond national boundaries.  • The need to focus on capacity building in local institutions to help ensure capital is absorbable and sustainable. 💬 “As global challenges become more complex, collaboration across sectors and geographies is no longer optional but essential,” commented Rupesh. “BwB is focused on building financial systems and public–private partnerships that support resilient, inclusive development.” 🤝 If you were at the Forum – or tracking its outcomes – we’d love to hear from you: what ideas resonated most with you, and how do you see them shaping finance for climate and development in the years ahead?

As part of its involvement in the GreetGeo Project, BwB recently had the opportunity to tour several plants in Larderello. Insights gained during the visit are strengthening BwB’s work to demonstrate to investors that geothermal is a reliable, viable, and scalable solution when built on the right foundations. Crucial building blocks include:   ✔️ A stable and supportive regulatory environment   ✔️ Operators with experience   ✔️ Reliable offtakers 🚀 BwB is supporting geothermal investments in regions with strong potential around the world, helping to mobilise the capital needed for climate-aligned, resilient energy systems. A big thank you to Enel Green Power and CoSviG Scrl, especially Loredana Torsello, for hosting us in Larderello. 💬 Where do you see the greatest untapped potential for geothermal energy?
