Event description:

The Global Center on Adaptation and the African Development Bank are co-convening a high-level event at the UN 2023 Water Conference. This is the first event of its kind in nearly five decades. It places water at the center of a robust global response to climate change.

The session will dwell on the need to build resilience to climate change across Africa, developing states and vulnerable nations. It will propose proven water solutions for a warming world to advance climate adaptation and a model of delivery to achieve impact at scale. Furthermore, it will share lessons from the model of implementation in the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program.

It will also serve as a launch pad to highlight the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program's achievements within its Water-Urban sub-program and seek its replication as a model in other regions, particularly Asia and small island states.

The high-level dialogue will feature statements and contributions from invited leaders across the fields of global politics and international finance.
