INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
The global conversation on climate risk is heavily skewed toward decarbonization and net zero. While mitigating future climate damage is critical, that focus often overshadows an equally urgent challenge: surviving the climate reality we already live in.
Moustafa Naiem, founder and CEO of Resiliocs Intelligence, helps institutional asset owners move beyond risk scores to understand what their climate exposures will actually cost — and which adaptation investments will reduce them most.
Drawing on a Ph.D. in resilience prediction, digital twin research at Cambridge, and consulting at KPMG, Moustafa explains why existing tools fall short. He points to a striking imbalance: roughly five dollars are spent on climate mitigation for every one on adaptation — a gap with consequences ranging from insurers exiting markets to displaced residents.
The conversation covers Resiliocs' "spatial twin" approach — delivering the predictive power of digital twins without expensive sensor networks, using satellite data and climate modeling instead. Moustafa also reframes Black Swan events as cascading system-wide failures, not simply high-intensity storms — a distinction the company's models are built to capture.
