Details
Financing climate adaptation and resilience is not only a business imperative, but also an opportunity for the private sector to build resilience in ways that benefit both them and the communities, economies, and ecosystems upon which their business models depend. The event will bring together global business leaders, financiers, and governments to discuss private adaptation and resilience finance opportunities and will explore meaningful ways various actors can collaborate towards building resilience in emerging markets and developing economies.
