Climate Change Adaptation in Colombia: Direction and Roles
On February 19-20, 2013 the Wilson Center, in collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development and the Colombian Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, hosted the inaugural series of sessions focused on climate change adaptation in Latin America and the Caribbean. The series, sponsored by USAID and organized by the Wilson Center, is an ongoing partnership that helps to bridge connections between stakeholders to discuss issues of climate change adaptation specific to the individual country. Working with local USAID Missions, seminars are developed with collaboration with local ministries and the private sector.
