Our Work on Improving Resilience to Extreme Events and Climate Impacts
Extreme events know no boundaries and are often catastrophic for communities. They can impair health and safety, welfare and livelihoods, agriculture, trade, ecosystems, air and water. By sharing best practices, assets and capacities, our three countries are working together to improve resilience within our communities and shared ecosystems to minimize the effects of these events.
