Summary
This webinar addressed the need for greater effort to identify a pipeline of large-scale NbS projects that truly accelerate adaptation, and at the same time build the resilience of communities. This high-level session was moderated by Ede Jorge Ijjasz-Vasquez, Senior Advisor to the GCA, and Former Regional Director, Africa, Sustainable Development Practice Group, World Bank.
