About
This event, hosted jointly by Global Affairs Canada and IISD, will highlight Canada’s leadership on climate finance through the Partnering for Climate initiative and include interactive exchanges between Partnering for Climate project hosts and an international audience. It will feature IISD-led projects, such as the Climate Adaptation and Protected Areas (CAPA) Initiative and the Scaling Urban Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Adaptation in sub-Saharan Africa (SUNCASA) initiative, as well as Plan International Canada’s project: Conservation and Sustainable Management of Coastal and Marine Ecosystems (COSME) in Kenya.
