About the event

Putting water
resilience into practice.

How can national climate plans translate into ethical implementation? Water connects climate adaptation with agriculture, urban infrastructure and the decisions that shape access to essential resources.

This session brings together country experiences from the Mediterranean and Latin America to explore practical solutions, fair allocation of risks and benefits, and opportunities to scale water adaptation through national climate plans (NDCs and NAPs).
