This session will examine how state governments can strengthen climate adaptation through effective implementation frameworks, drawing on national and international experiences. By exploring legal and institutional mechanisms—such as State Adaptation Plans, budget laws, the ClimaBrasil Panel, and monitoring systems—it will identify pathways to ensure coherence, continuity, and transparency in adaptation policies.
Bringing together donors, philanthropies, and regional governments, the session will also showcase finance-ready initiatives that bridge the subnational financing gap and advance integrated climate adaptation and resilience solutions.
