Abstract
Under the Paris Agreement, various measures have been taken to limit the average temperature increase to within 1.5°C. But the impacts of climate change are becoming stronger, and funding scarcity and lack of proper measures are pressing issues.
In developing countries, there is a large gap between adaptation needs and financial flows for adaptation measures, and it is necessary to reduce the impact by promoting “Climate Resilient Development (CRD)” that pursue both climate change measures and sustainable development.
JICA supports adaptation measures including pre-investment reflecting Japan's experience, as well as promote the co-benefits of climate change adaptation measures and solving development issues.
This side event aims to share the directions of realizing “climate resilient development” through synergies between climate change adaptation and sustainable development, with a particular focus on adaptation of multisectoral approach, from the perspectives of international organizations, research institutions, governments, and aid agencies.Program
