A@A Knowledge Network: Learning event #2

Summary

Join us for the next Adaptation at Altitude (A@A) Knowledge Network learning event: “Lessons learned: Designing and implementing transboundary adaptation in mountains”.

9 July | 13:00-14:00 (BST) – Microsoft Teams

Mountains suffer some of the most visible impacts of climate change: rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns are melting glaciers, disrupting water flows and affecting ecosystems, creating and worsening natural hazards and threatening livelihoods and communities both within mountain regions and further downstream. These climate impacts and associated risks are not constrained by national borders. With mountain ranges often spanning multiple countries, adaptation to transboundary climate risks is becoming an increasingly complex and urgent challenge in mountain regions.

Following the momentum gained on transboundary and regional collaboration at the Expert Dialogue on Mountains and Climate Change at SB60, this Adaptation at Altitude (A@A) Knowledge Network learning event will share insights on designing and implementing transboundary adaptation projects, both in mountain regions and more broadly.
