CAS 2021 Action Themes
The Climate Adaptation Summit (CAS) 2021 will streamline action along 11 tracks, to address specific challenges that come with climate change.
- Water
- Accelerating African Adaptation
- Resilient Cities
- Nature-Based Solutions
- Disaster Risk Management
- Infrastructure
- Youth Leadership
- Locally Led Adaptation
- Agriculture & Food Security
- Finance & Investment
- Resilient Economic Recovery
The Anchoring Events at the backbone of the CAS 2021 programme are to develop actions on these themes. Four Action Themes are ‘cross-cutting’, as follows:
- Accelerating African Adaptation
The African continent is on the frontline of climate change, but also has inherent strengths and vast adaptive capacity, and has opportunities for resilient development to offer. Therefore, its importance is reflected throughout CAS 2021. - Finance & Investment
Finance is critical to accelerating climate adaptation efforts at building global resilience to worsening climate impacts. - Youth Leadership
Since those who are young today will feel climate change impact more, their involvement in adaptation is imperative. That is why Youth Leadership, a central driver of the Adaptation Action Agenda and its implementation, will resonate in all CAS 2021 events. - Locally Led Adaptation
Local communities are most affected by climate change and engaging in climate resilience in all fields and themes of CAS 2021.
The Action Themes will also structure other components of the online Summit programme, including the Supporting Events and the Side Events to which you can contribute your own content or event.
