Water for Climate Pavilion
This dialogue will bring together partners from across the Bairro do Mutirão to reflect on early outcomes and insights from the Water Days and ongoing COP discussions.
November 15, 16:30 - 17:30 | Water for Climate Pavilion
The session will highlight how water underpins resilient cities, infrastructures, and cooling systems, serving as a bridge between local action and global commitments. Through a fireside chat on multi-level governance, speakers/panelists will explore how water priorities can be embedded in national climate frameworks, and how collaboration among the four pavilions can strengthen those efforts, and identify opportunities for joint advocacy and knowledge exchange that advance water-driven, people-centered climate solutions across sectors.
