About this session

This panel brings together local, state, and regional climate leaders from both sides of the Pacific to explore how cooperation across jurisdictions and levels of government can advance shared goals for bolstering climate resilience. Panelists designing and implementing climate adaptation initiatives in their jurisdictions will share their experience – including their successes and challenges – and discuss what effective, concrete climate cooperation means to them. The session aims to identify practical areas for deeper collaboration and actionable priorities to guide multilevel partnerships in the region.
