Climate Change Policy, Adaptation and Resilience Building

One of the biggest threats to economic stability is climate change. In addition to its severe impact on the environment and people, the OECD estimates losses associated with climate change at $8 trillion by 2050, as well as a 3% drop in global GDP, an issue that requires collaboration between the public and private sectors to change the way goods and services are produced and adopt other methods that ensure and stimulate the development of sustainable economic growth. A growing body of research shows that measures to address climate change are also a golden opportunity to ensure sustainable development and stimulate economic growth.
The purpose of this seminar is to equip governments in the design and implementation of programmes and projects on climate change mitigation and adaptation. It also discusses in depth the funds associated with climate change, as well as the instruments and funding mechanisms for projects aimed at strengthening resilience and limiting climate hazards.
