Advancing climate adaptation with digital technology

Partners: GeSI
November 15, 2024, 16:30-18:00
UNFCCC Pavilion – Special Events Room 5

Participants: UNFCCC’s Youssef Nassef, NEC, and other GeSI members

The first section will focus on ‘Pilots of Excellence in Climate Resilience,’ supported by the UNFCCC’s Climate Adaptation Director Youssef Nasset and GeSI member companies. The emphasis will be on collaboration with private sector technology companies in establishing tech-driven and context-appropriate resilience pilots in the poorest and most vulnerable communities in lesser developed countries.
 
The second section will feature important work led by NEC, who at COP28 in Dubai advocated for “Advancing Climate Adaptation with Digital Technology,” where they proposed solutions to challenges in climate change countermeasures and introduced NEC’s efforts to address environmental issues. At COP29, we will introduce NEC’s specific initiatives related to “Adaptation Finance.”  
 
This session will focus on NEC’s efforts towards creating use cases and implementing them in society regarding “Adaptation Finance.” The presentations will introduce current domestic and international use cases, activities within consortiums, and collaborations between industry, government, and academia aimed at social implementation of the finance model.
