Achieving climate resilience centers on both climate change mitigation and adaptation. Concrete actions are essential, and it is crucial to establish the groundwork for a swift, just, feasible, and equitable transition. This transition must be supported by robust policy, standards, skills, finance, and collaboration.
IEEE and ITU will convene UN Agencies, policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and standards development organizations to strengthen our collective actions towards a resilient climate. The symposium will be structured around four key building blocks:
- Research, Technology, and Standards
- Policy, Regulation, and Implementation
- Education and Skills Development
- Finance, Trade, and Development
The Symposium aims to achieve the following key objectives:
- Explore Technology Solutions: Highlight innovative technologies and standards that support climate resilience and policy integration.
- Promote Collaboration: Facilitate cross-sector dialogue among government, industry, academia, and international partners.
- Support Policy Formulation: Develop actionable policies and strategies, encouraging clean-tech lending by financial institutions and development agencies.
- Showcase Best Practices: Present effective technologies and practices to reduce carbon emissions and support future research and development (R&D).
- Facilitate the development of a Technology Roadmap: Outline a collaborative roadmap to enhance global climate resilience, promoting environmental efficiency.
