About event
The governments in Europe, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, are taking the lead among the first to address the challenges by collaborating with their private sectors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote adaptation and resilience measures from the impacts of climate change and disasters by mainstreaming the policies and measures through water cycle management from source to sea. To explore the necessary triple or even quadruple helix structures as a vehicle towards achieving SDG 6, and the global targets, this side event will discuss Private-Public Partnerships for climate change mitigation and NBS through sound water cycle management by sharing good practices, lessons, and commitment in Europe, Japan, and Korea.
