​Showcasing cost-benefit analysis in climate resilience measures, this event will bring to the forefront reasons why we should act early in our response to climate change impacts. Climate councils will bring to life tangible examples of policy measures to achieve the Global Goal on Adaptation, from water management in Canada to infrastructure development in South Africa and poverty alleviation in Guatemala.
