Adaptation Community Meetings on Governance, Planning and Policy

Effective and flexible governance capacities allows a country to plan for the potential gains and losses posed by weather and climate trends. Governments and other institutions (from global to national to local) need to identify concrete opportunities to integrate climate information into planning, policy and budgeting so that risk management is mainstreamed across all priorities.
