Adaptation to Climate Change. We recognise that climate change is already impacting on our towns and urban districts. Different towns are affected by the changing climate in different ways, but no one place can adapt on its own. We agree to build partnerships to take collective action to make our towns more resilient to climate change, protecting citizens from the risks it poses and making the most of opportunities it may present.

Adaptation to Climate Change. Adaptation to climate change is a global challenge that has local, regional, and national implications. • The Paris Agreement (Article 7) also calls for international cooperation in assisting developing countries in improving their resilience to climate change. • The adaptation efforts should be sensitive to gender differences and socio-economic differences. • It should also try to combine traditional knowledge with the most advanced technology for the best results. • The parties to the agreement should also ensure that the best practices, technology, and experiences are shared • To control the loss and damage due to climate change, the Paris Climate Agreement puts forward the following- Early warning system, Preparedness for emergencies, Risk assessment, Risk Management, Resilience of local communities etc. (Article 8)

Adaptation to Climate Change. Acknowledging the need to manage and re- duce risks associated with climate change im- pacts, such as drought and extreme weather events, as well as the emerging opportunities associated with managing and reducing these risks, the United States and Brazil will work to- gether, including through sharing experiences related to national adaptation planning, to build resilience to climate change impacts in areas such as biodiversity and ecosystems; in- frastructure, including energy; agricultural production and food security; and water re- sources. The United States and Brazil will continue collaboration on atmospheric and ecosystem science research, building on the Green Ocean Amazon 2014/2015 experiment through post- doctoral educational exchanges between Bra- zilian and U.S. universities and laboratories. The United States and Brazil will cooperate on managing issues at the nexus of water and energy, in the context of climate change. As our countries face prolonged and increasingly intense droughts, we need to appropriately in- tegrate energy-water planning and decision- making; collaborate on sustainable hydropow- er; improve resilient thermoelectric generation resilience; and increase the efficiency of water and wastewater treatment infrastructure sys- tems.
