Water for Climate Pavilion

Building climate resilience through integrated water and land-use planning in Latin America.

In this panel, we will learn from the experience of stakeholders about which adaptation measures have been effective in adapting to climate change. We will analyze how natural resource management plans, such as land and water, can be a platform for implementing these adaptation options. We will share financing strategies that have been successful in supporting the development of adaptation strategies.

TIME & PLACE

November 20, 15:00 - 16:00 | Water for Climate Pavilion

ORGANISERSUniversity of Oxford, Stockholm Environment Institute

Countries have various planning instruments for the coordinated use of natural resources (i.e., water, soil, energy, fauna, flora). These instruments seek, on the one hand, to understand the effect of multiple users’ transformations on natural resources and the limits of these transformations to ensure the health of ecosystems and the ecosystem services they provide.

 

Therefore, historical and current alterations are analyzed, and future scenarios of expected changes should be included, under historical climatic conditions and with climate change. Likewise, strategies to adapt to climate change should be incorporated.

 

The hydroclimatic risk component should be fundamental in preventing the possible effects of extreme events such as shortages, droughts, fires, or floods and torrential rains.

 

In this panel, we will analyze adaptation measures that have been effective in different contexts, such as early warning systems, the definition of controlled flood areas, and the restoration of waterways, among others.

 

The financing of these measures and their sustainability is one of the challenges facing decision-makers, and in this panel we will address possible sources of financing based on the successful experiences presented.

Youth in Water Governance: A Multistakeholder and Intergenerational Dialogue for Water and Climate Action

November 17, 2025 4:00 pm - 17:00Panel discussion

As climate impacts intensify, effective and inclusive water governance is essential for building resilience and accelerating progress on global water–climate goals. This session brings together youth leaders, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners for an intergenerational and multistakeholder dialogue on strengthening water governance systems for climate action. The discussion will explore how youth can move from participation to influence, and how shared governance approaches can drive transformation ahead of the UN Water Conference 2026

From Local Action to Global Impact: Water as a Driver of Climate Resilience

November 14, 2025 12:00 pm - 13:00Panel discussion

Achieving the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) depends on our ability to transform multilateral commitments into concrete resilience strategies on the ground. Water lies at the core of this agenda: it links water security, energy security, food production, ecosystem conservation, economic development, and the protection of vulnerable populations

Promoting Water-Resilient Food Systems for Climate Action

November 19, 2025 2:00 pm - 15:15Panel discussionWater-resilient Food Systems

With climate change intensifying water scarcity and disrupting agricultural productivity, ensuring that food systems can withstand water-related stresses is essential. This session aims to explore why water-food linkages are key to promoting both climate mitigation and adaptation, and how strengthened mainstreaming of water-food linkages in climate policies promotes achieving global climate resilience, the goals of the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
