PART 2 The Purposeful Investment Landscape

Exploring the Landscape

Looks at how targeted flood investment can reduce social vulnerability and increase resilience in disadvantaged communities.

This Joseph Rowntree Foundation report, Targeting flood investment and policy to minimise flood disadvantage (authors Kit England and Katherine Knox), is included in Part 2: The Purposeful Investment Landscape — Chapter: Exploring the Landscape because it documents how growing flood risk in England combines with social vulnerability to produce ‘flood disadvantage’ and shows how targeted, place-based investment and policy can increase resilience for low-income, disabled and other disadvantaged communities; its analysis of barriers to adaptation finance and recommendations for directing resources to socially vulnerable places directly support the book’s guidance on aligning capital to generate measurable social and environmental impact and to centre justice in climate-related investment decisions.
