SNV and partners discuss cross-sectoral, scalable and localised approaches at COP27
SNV and partners will discuss climate adaptation and how to strengthen resilience in energy and food systems in an official COP27 side event.
On 11 November, decarbonisation day at COP27, SNV will lead an official side event on accelerating climate adaptation in energy and food systems. The session entitled Accelerating effective local climate adaptation in energy and food systems will take place:
When: 15:00 – 16:30 PM
Where: Thebes conference room.
The side event, co-organised with partners Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) and WWF, will bring together policymakers, donors, investors and NGOs to share learnings and best practices from Africa's cross-sectoral, scalable and localised approaches.
Synopsis
During the panel discussion, speakers will explore why climate adaptation investment often falls short of need and does not always produce effective adaptation on the ground. The session will examine how localised energy and food nexus approaches can increase the effectiveness of investments and improve food security, closing the gap between NDCs, pledges and impact.
