COP30 side-event: Promoting adaptation measures and addressing climate risks

As climate risks become more visible and the importance of financing resilience grows increasingly stark, financial institutions should learn from each other’s practices. This event intends to highlight recent findings on climate risk management relevant to financial institutions and have them share their experience on collaborating for better climate risk management. This will help them better contribute to managing global climate risks and will help PDBs target their assistance to increase resilience in local economies.
