Financing Climate Resilient Water Infrastructure

Water resilience is at the core of climate adaptation, yet cities, utilities, and industries continue to face mounting risks from droughts, floods, groundwater depletion, and extreme weather. Building resilience requires an integrated view of the entire urban water cycle—both above and below ground.

In view of the upcoming revision of the NDCs, the session will focus on identifying persisting challenges, but also key entry points and opportunities for multi-level governance and for leveraging, mainstreaming and upscaling the urban water content into national climate planning and policies to support the implementation of local urban water resilience solutions.
