Capacities for Building Climate Resilience: Insights and Learning from 3 Global Initiatives

This session aims to showcase climate adaptation capacity-building practices among different stakeholders.

This session, co-organised by ARA & UNEP, with UNFCCC & UNESCWA, through the Nairobi work programme, highlights challenges, learning and best practices in adaptation capacity-building.

The focus is on different stakeholders through three components: bridging adaptation knowledge to action, closing adaptation knowledge gaps in subregions and countries, and building youth capacity for climate action through city-university partnerships.

The panellists will discuss what the main areas of knowledge gaps and capacity-building needs are, and highlight specific challenges, learnings, experiences, and best practices from their initiatives.

Speakers include: Dr Aditya V. Bahadur (IIED/ARA), Ms Taylor Martin (Co-water international), Dr Tarek Sadek (UN-ESCWA), Ms Maha Balbaa (The British University of Egypt), Dr Nuttavikhom (Kay) Phanthuwongpakdee (Thammasat University, Research Unit in Urban Futures and Policy).
