What does it take to rise to this challenge?

This press conference brings together different perspectives – from the public, private and research sectors – to raise awareness and understanding of the global nature of climate change impacts and the true scale of the risks it presents to our economies and societies. It also aims to shift the narrative on adaptation – and encourage more international cooperation on adaptation – to strengthen the resilience of our global systems, markets and supply chains to the cascading impacts of climate change.

Panelists will provide their perspective on what the adaptation challenge is, and how to rise to it, and answer questions from journalists. Among the panelists will be:

• HE Shauna Aminath, Minister of the Environment, Climate Change and Technology, Maldives
• Magnus Benzie, Research Fellow, Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI)
• Volker Ratzmann, Executive Vice President Corporate Public Affairs, Deutsche Post DHL
• Alvin Chandra, Global Coordinator for Adaptation Policy and Partnerships, UN Environment Programme (UNEP)

Moderator: Sabine Matsheka, Adaptation Lead, Global Strategic Communications Council (GSCC)
