Introduction
I grew up in Missouri surrounded by three rivers. Nearly every spring, at least one of them would flood. Each time this happened, families, businesses, and sometimes whole communities, would be forced to higher ground until the water receded and returned to its banks.
Public programs were there to assist. Teams helped people evacuate, temporary shelters were stood up overnight, and financial support was provided for repairs and rebuilding. By many measures, these responses were a win, repeated successes of a system meant to insure against these types of disasters.

WASHINGTON, USA – Addressing the threat of climate change at the coalition of finance ministers for climate action on Tuesday, Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen, said, “climate, by its very nature, requires strong global cooperation.”
“We lost four important years, and we recognize that many of you around the room have been leading change in your own countries. The United States was pleased to join the Coalition last week, and my team and I look forward to engaging with you on this important agenda,” said Secretary Yellen. “Finance ministries have a vital role to play, and there is much that we can learn from each other about how to integrate climate into our financial planning and decision-making.”
