Climate change has a severe impact on the livelihoods and economies of developing countries and will constrain achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals on virtually all fronts. While efforts to reduce emissions are obviously vital, it is equally critical that societies adapt to the already ongoing impact of climate change. Integrating climate change adaptation broadly into development cooperation is therefore a pressing issue and has never been more relevant.

DIIS is pleased to welcome you to a webinar to mark publication of a new DIIS Report that discusses the linkages between adaptation and development, examines the approaches of selected development actors, and discusses selected trends in Denmark’s funding to climate change adaptation. During the webinar two authors will present current thinking about integration of climate change adaptation and development, provide an up-to-date analysis of Danida’s support for climate change adaptation, and suggest a way forward.The presentations are followed by a Q&A session, where the authors are interviewed by Senior Researcher Lars Engberg-Pedersen, DIIS, based on questions from participants.
