Brazil
This session will focus on three critical elements to effectively developing and deploying National Adaptation plans at the national level. The session will feature a representative of the HLC’s (or the COP President) reinforcing how important this topic will be for framing Brazil’s lasting impact on the climate challenge. The program would then shift to a series of three substantive panels focusing on risk identification, project prioritization and implementation, followed by a debrief session with eminent industry leaders. The objective would be that public and private sector leaders share best practices that could be replicated in other markets.
