Mountain areas are key for climate adaptation efforts due to their transboundary and global importance (natural hazards, water towers, global biodiversity hotspots), high vulnerability to climate change, and tendency to host marginalized and isolated communities. This panel focused on the need for mountain-based adaptation funding. Speakers outlined pathways for leveraging finance further, such as finding synergies between mitigation and adaptation projects, and provided examples at the national and regional level from both public and private funding. Alex Mackey, Project Manager of the Zoï Environment Network, moderated the event. Speakers included Matthias Bachmann, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation; Dr. Deepshikha Sharma, ICIMOD; and more.
