We are pleased to invite you to the virtual Panel Session on Harnessing Technology, Data and Capacity for Climate Resilient Development, on 20 February 2024, 13:00-14:15 (Bangkok time, GMT+7, via Zoom), a side-event jointly organized by ESCAP’s five Regional Institutes – APCICT, APCTT, APDIM, CSAM and SIAP – at the 2024 Asia Pacific Forum on Sustainable Development.

Efforts to address climate change in Asia and the Pacific must prioritize the leveraging of technology, statistics, and capacity building. This entails fostering the transfer and development of sustainable technologies; improving data governance, collection and analysis capabilities; investing in statistical infrastructure for tracking progress; and promoting capacity building initiatives.

The event will feature a panel that will delve into the strategic integration of policymaking and planning, technology, effective use of data and statistics, capacity building, and regional cooperation in combating and adapting to climate change. It will feature experts and practitioners who will discuss on a) the role of technology cooperation and transfer in mitigating climate impact; b) integrating data and statistics to turn climate data into actionable insights; and c) enhancing human and institutional capacities for a deeper understanding and more effective action against climate change.
