Building resilience to climate change is a must for many countries to buffer the impacts of climate change on GDP, poverty, and food and water insecurity. Hear how some countries are confronting the climate challenge by thinking big and acting now on landscape restoration at scale¡ªboosting climate resilience while bolstering livelihoods and the economy. This event showcases what countries in Africa, Central Asia, and Central America are doing to restore resilient landscapes at scale in order to tackle climate challenges.

Investing in adaptation measures at scale¡ªthose that contribute to resilient and inclusive development¡ªmust become the new normal. Landscape restoration is an effective adaptation measure with multiple benefits derived from the impact of landscape restoration on food security, job creation, and many other factors. Moreover, investing in adaptation is not a separate undertaking but an integral part of the transition to a green, low-carbon, sustainable and inclusive economy. Achieving the necessary scale will require substantial resources and innovative green financing strategies.

Join us for a fireside chat with Government and Technical leaders on initiatives in Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Uzbekistan, and countries in the Sahel region to adapt to climate change by investing in resilient landscapes at scale.
