Navigating multiple crises. Between adaptation and mitigation

At the backdrop of the upcoming COP 26 in Glasgow, this session focuses on exploring water related resilience-centric governance in the face of multiple and cascading crises, in particular for climate change. The concept of resilience is useful not only to understand complex systems experiencing uncertainty and change but also to reimagine our governance responses to such change. The session will include welcome speech by Per Bolund, Minister for Environment and Climate and Deputy Prime Minister, Sweden and keynote speech by Nigel Topping, United Kingdom's High Level Champion for Climate Action at COP26.
