Towards a Comprehensive Five-Year Adaptation Programme for Climate Resilience

This presentation by Ian Burton discusses the urgent need for a five-year adaptation program to address climate change challenges. It highlights the adaptation deficit faced by all countries, outlines the objectives of promoting and facilitating adaptation, and emphasizes the integration of adaptation into development. The presentation covers the SBSTA work programme, potential partnerships across various sectors, and suggests creative modalities for implementation. Key points include the importance of coherence, flexibility, and continuous assessment of progress towards reducing climate-related losses.
