Climate Resilience and Adaptation

Climate change is increasing the frequency of floods, droughts, heatwaves, and other climaterelated shocks across Europe and Central Asia, placing pressure on communities, infrastructure, and economies. Strengthening climate resilience and adaptation efforts is essential to protect development gains and support sustainable growth.

Within this thematic area, the Center brings together policymakers and practitioners to exchange practical approaches for climateinformed planning, financing, and investment-focusing on naturebased solutions, resilient infrastructure, water and landscape management, and locally led climate action.
