About the Webinar
Climate proofing is a technical adaptation option that seeks to maintain the capacity of a system to function while the climate changes, ensuring the sustainability of investments (UNDP, 2010). It aims to reduce climate risks to acceptable levels by incorporating long-term, environmentally sound, economically viable and socially acceptable changes in one or more stages of a project cycle (Asian Development Bank, 2005).
In this webinar we will learn about the project "Regional mechanism for integrated risk management and adoption of climate proofing in public infrastructure", implemented by the Central American Institute of Public Administration (ICAP) and the Coordination Center for the Prevention of Natural Disasters in Central America (CEPREDENAC), with funding from the Inter-American Development Bank. Cases of application in San Carlos, Panama and Conchagua, El Salvador will be presented.
The webinar will be conducted in Spanish. For more information about the webinar, click here. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat: info@ledslac.org
