Climate Adaptation Summit 2021

On 25 and 26 January 2021 the Climate Adaptation Summit will convene global leaders and local stakeholders, hosted by The Netherlands. It will see the launch of a comprehensive Adaptation Action Agenda that sets out clear commitments to deliver concrete new endeavours and partnerships to make our world more resilient to the effects of climate change.

The Summit is a great opportunity for Water as Leverage (WaL) to present the programme, inspire and get people involved. WaL focuses on catalyzing urban climate actions through a design-led holistic and inclusive approach, using water’s connecting capacity as driver for sustainable development.

These articles on Water as Leverage Semarang and Chennai are some of the contributions of Water as Leverage to share our knowledge and expertise gained during the progamme on Climate Adaptation. In the coming days, more contributions will follow, such as the launch of the ‘Water as Leverage – Call for Action’ paper, another article on Water as Leverage Chennai & Climate Adaptation and the broadcasting of the Roundtable ‘Water as Leverage – Call for Climate Action’.
