Overcoming Barriers: Enabling Frameworks for Mobilizing Climate Adaptation Finance at the Local Level in Latin America and the Caribbean

When: 10 November, 10:45am-11:30am (Egypt)
Where: Euroclima Pavilion, Sharm El Sheikh
Organizers: UNEP & ICLEI

The gap between adaptation needs and adaptation finance is growing. This particularly affects local and sub-national governments who are at the frontline in the face of climate change impacts, and yet have limited tools to raise finance. Under a multi-sectoral format, this event will seek to address the political, institutional and economic factors necessary to mobilize adaptation finance at the local level in the Latin American and Caribbean region. The objective of this session is to contribute to the debate on technical and institutional capacity building, design support and promotion of sub-national planning that integrates adaptation, highlighting in particular the integration of nature-based solutions for adaptation as cost-effective measures to increase urban resilience.
