Declining Climate Funding Spurs Index of Most Vulnerable Nations
A new climate risk index seeks to help get the dwindling pool of aid for climate adaptation to the countries that need it most.
The Climate Finance Vulnerability Index combines factors measuring a country's exposure to climate hazards with indicators of its financial resilience, including access to loans and level of debt. It's designed to help funders direct grants and low-interest loans to countries that are both most exposed to climate perils and less able to access funds through other means.

No one wants to be a leader. Here's why it's still a great role.
Leadership used to be a role people aspired to. But today, employees are increasingly avoiding leadership positions or even stepping out of leadership roles. In fact, 40% of leaders have considered leaving their role to improve their work-life balance and well-being according to a survey of almost 11,000 leaders by DDI. A comprehensive survey by Rand across 34 countries involving 27,000 adults found that 39% didn't want career progression and 57% would reject a job if they thought it would have negative effects on their work-life balance. And according to a separate survey by DDI, Gen Z is 1.7 times more likely than other generations to consider leaving leadership roles because they want to protect their well-being. However, there are still compelling reasons to seek leadership. And there are great reasons to stick with it if you're already in a leadership role. 1. Making a positive impact Leadership is the most direct route for making a positive impact on an organization. Leaders have a broader range of influence, because of the number of people who report to them, the practices they adopt, and the decisions they make. Leaders also have a big impact on others. Demonstrating respect and empathy, focusing on well-being, and inspiring performance and results can all have positive outcomes for people. And these leadership behaviors can have a ripple effect in terms of how people treat each other and hold each other accountable in the organization and the community. As a leader, you're likely to work on issues that are more strategic than tactical, which can have a domino effect on the business. For example, decisions by the product leader can impact how the brand team markets the product and the sales team positions it with customers. 2. Pay and marketability Another reason to lead is because of the rewards. Leadership is worth the effort because it pays you back in tangible ways. In most companies, leadership responsibility is still the fastest way to increase your pay and advance your career. But in addition, you'll also be likely to amplify your personal brand and increase your marketability. Leadership is one of the most sought-after skills among hiring managers and organizations. When you're able to demonstrate that you have experience with leadership and you're skilled in directing, coaching, decision-making, inspiring, and motivating others, you'll set yourself up to shine in future roles. And you'll be able to advance within your current organization or in a new company. It's an excellent time to pursue leadership since fewer people are interested, meaning there's less competition and more opportunities. 3. Autonomy No matter what your role, you have to answer to someone. Even senior leaders or founders of companies have to answer to boards of directors or customers. But in leadership roles, you typically make decisions about what gets done and how it's prioritized. You may also benefit from greater variety in your work, and less redundancy. You'll have more control over what you do, which can be empowering. Having choice and control can be especially fulfilling, and it can also reduce stress. In two separate studies by Indiana University in 2016 and 2020, people who were in jobs that were very stressful and who had little decision-making power tended to be less healthy and had reduced longevity. On the other hand, when people were in stressful jobs but had more autonomy and control over how they did their work, they didn't have the same negative health outcomes. 4. Growth Another great reason to lead is the opportunity for growth. The process of learning new things is significantly correlated with happiness, according to a study published in the Journal of Happiness Studies. Leadership challenges your capabilities as you navigate all the needs of the team, the organization, and the competitive environment. As a leader, you may be called on to do new projects, take on additional initiatives, or expand your responsibilities. All of these are great ways to build your skills for your current job and your next job to create a career that's satisfying and meaningful.

On The Brink Of Collapse: Housing Needs Solutions For Climate Risk
Aftermath from 2024's Hurricane Milton caused extensive damage and flooding in Central Florida. Getty Images A storm brings immediate devastation—damaged homes, power outages, and lost lives—but its long-term impact often stretches years into the future. Beyond cleanup and rebuilding, many homeowners face climate risk in terms of rising insurance costs, diminished property values, and unaffordable living conditions. Climate risk is now a defining force in the U.S. housing market. It's not just a matter of weather—it's a financial, economic, and insurance crisis unfolding in real time. Global property data firm Cotality estimates that more than 33 million U.S. homes are at risk of hurricane wind damage this year, with a combined $12 trillion in reconstruction value. Additionally, more than 6.4 million homes, worth $2.2 trillion, face moderate or greater flood risk. This risk is growing—and costly. According to the State of the Nation's Housing 2025 report by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies, 20.3 million homeowners (24%) were cost-burdened in 2023. A key driver are rising property insurance premiums, which increased 57% from 2019 to 2024. In high-risk states such as California, Florida, and Louisiana, homeowners are already grappling with unaffordable insurance, reduced coverage, or losing coverage altogether. Foreclosures Are Rising The financial toll of climate events extends beyond insurance. It's reshaping credit risk and destabilizing lending models. According to a report by First Street Foundation, Climate, the Sixth 'C' of Credit , the impact of Hurricane Sandy provides a real world example. Home prices in affected areas dropped 14% annually for five years, destroying home equity and causing foreclosures to go up. These property-level losses rippled through the financial system, resulting in $68 million in unpaid principal and interest. Under a standard 50% loss-given-default assumption, this translated to $34 million in credit losses—losses not captured by traditional credit risk models. Recognizing this gap, First Street proposes a sixth 'C' in credit assessment: climate, which would exist beside the five traditional credit metrics, character, capacity, capital, collateral, and conditions. The future is troubling. First Street projects that credit losses due to climate risk could rise from $1.2 billion in 2025 to $5.4 billion by 2035. By then, climate-related foreclosures could account for 30% of all foreclosure activity—up from 6.7% in 2025. Climate Risk Shrinks The Buyer Pool Climate events are upending the insurance market. Insurers are pulling out of high-risk areas or raising rates dramatically. Every 1 percentage point increase in annual insurance premiums is associated with a 1.05 percentage point rise in foreclosure rates, according to Kin Insurance. A recent Kin survey found that 72% of homeowners consider insurance unaffordable. Without adequate insurance, homeowners can't qualify for a mortgage—shrinking the buyer pool and pushing more families out of reach of homeownership, especially in coastal areas. Forecasting storm severity is becoming more difficult. NOAA predicts a 60% chance of an above-average hurricane season in 2025 with up to 19 named storms. Yet actual outcomes have repeatedly gone way above forecasts. Kin estimates that NOAA's models may be underestimating severity by up to 90%. Climate Risk Destroying Home Values Hurricane risk is already altering housing demand, even in traditionally stable markets. According to Cotality, more than 656,000 homes in Charleston, S.C., Wilmington, N.C., and Virginia Beach, Va., are vulnerable to storm surge if a hurricane makes landfall. Home sales are slowing—properties in Virginia Beach stayed on the market 32% longer in 2025 compared with early 2024, while homes in Wilmington lingered 19% longer. 'Buyers are factoring environmental risks into decisions in ways we haven't seen before,' said Selma Hepp, chief economist at Cotality in a press release. 'They're pricing in insurance premiums, future storms, and resale challenges. That's reshaping demand in coastal markets—even where past storm activity has been minimal.' Home values are also dropping. Properties in Miami's 100-year flood zone have declined by up to 18% per square foot. But any savings are often wiped out by skyrocketing insurance costs—if coverage is even available. In states like Florida and Texas, several insurers have exited the market or gone bankrupt, forcing state-backed insurers to step in. Premiums are also climbing in Virginia and South Carolina, straining affordability. The Case for Affordable Mitigation Mitigation doesn't have to be expensive. Hurricane risks, particularly wind, have the biggest impact a home's roof. According to Kin's Chief Insurance Officer Angel Conlin, simple upgrades like roof clips and secondary water barriers can make a significant difference. 'It costs less than $1,500 to add clips that hold down the roof—and Kin offers credits that help homeowners recover the cost in the first year,' she said. Kin also conducts follow-up inspections after underwriting to recommend safety improvements that lower risk and insurance costs. Design To Defend Against Climate Risk Architects and builders can help mitigate risks through smarter design. Features like hip roofs, 'peel and stick' underlayment, and reinforced garage doors improve storm resilience. Metal roofs last longer and are more wind-resistant—though they carry a higher upfront cost. 'Shingle roofs in Florida rarely last their full lifespan,' said Conlin. 'Most carriers won't write a shingle roof over 10 years old.' Other best practices include removing overhanging trees, elevating electrical systems, and incorporating backup power through generators or solar. Many home builders are creating home designs with panel or modular solutions that can withstand the strongest storm conditions, and even delivering them at an affordable price point offsetting the rising insurance premiums. A Financial System Under Pressure Flooded homes have a 40% higher foreclosure rate than their neighbors. And in a broader economic downturn, these risks compound—lowering home values, weakening financial institutions, and destabilizing the mortgage system. After Hurricane Sandy, banks underestimated foreclosures by nearly 400 cases due to ignoring flood risk. The result was $68 million in unpaid principal, and $34 million in credit losses. Response measures can be helpful, but also carry long-term costs for lenders. First Street's model shows that, without major changes to lending criteria and mitigation efforts, climate risk will continue to drive foreclosures through rising premiums, slow price growth, and more frequent disasters. Climate Risk Demands Solutions The risks tied to climate events are not just environmental—they are deeply economic and structural. From soaring insurance costs to rising foreclosures, the climate crisis is pushing the U.S. housing system to a tipping point. More real estate data companies are tracking the impacts and making them visible, which also is showing certain markets at higher risk than others, and inspiring the need for updated building codes as a viable solution. Climate risk solutions are available, but require action: smarter construction, insurance reform, updated lending models, and proactive mitigation. Without these changes, more Americans will find themselves priced out, uninsured, or underwater—both financially and literally.
