From national adaptation plans to global climate action

To effectively address climate change through standardization, we must first determine which climate scenarios to prepare for over the coming decades.

Should we focus on the most likely scenarios, or prepare for less likely but more severe climate events?

Do different sectors or locations call for different approaches?

This discussion needs to happen at the international level to ensure we can establish guidelines for climate adaptation at the regional and national levels.

Many countries have already developed national adaptation plans (NAPs), and standardization at the international, regional and national levels can help ensure these NAPs are implemented successfully.

This panel discussion will serve to identify climate change adaptation needs in various sectors and regions.
