24-26 September 2013

This three-day workshop is based on the Policy Guidance on Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into Development Cooperation (OECD Guidance) developed by the OECD’s Environment Policy Committee (EPOC) and its Development Assistance Committee (DAC) with the aim of promoting understanding and identifying appropriate approaches and practical ways for integrating climate change adaptation into development policies and activities at national, sectorial, project and local levels.
