Session Description
COP26 and the Glasgow Climate Pact highlighted the urgency of scaling up action and support to enhance adaptive capacity, strengthen resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change. This raises the need to ensure that infrastructure investments mitigate the impacts of climate change while also building adaptation capacity and resilience. This session will bring together governments to discuss the need to scale up financing for infrastructure resilience. This session will focus on how governments are taking into consideration the long-term value and costs of adaptation in infrastructure planning and investment. The session seeks to shed light on how governments integrate such considerations into their financial planning to establish an integrated approach to adaptation and resilience of infrastructure.
