This session, which comes at the conclusion of Industry Day is designed to offer comprehensive insights into the roles of industry and finance in driving the adaptation agenda and achieving environmental goals.  

Through the discussions, the dialogue aims to highlight the interlinkages between climate objectives and SDGs, emphasizing the need for a coordinated approach involving policy action, financing, and industry innovation.  

The insights from key sector representatives will contribute significantly to strategies for a sustainable and climate-resilient world in the 21st century, especially in the context of developing countries and LDCs. 

This is a topic that needs to be more adequately explored, compared to the mitigation agenda.  The session shines light on findings from 3 flagship UNEP reports: The Adaptation Gap Report, the Emissions Gap Report and the Production Gap Report, while inviting industry and finance leaders to provide their perspectives and commentary, with focus on integrated policy-industry-finance solutions for a world in crisis. Read more
