This is an official side event of the Asia Pacific Climate Week 2023.

The 8th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Forum (APAN Forum) took place in the Republic of Korea between 30 August to 1 September. From these discussions, four key characteristics of transformative adaptation were identified as: restructuring, path-shifting, system-wide, and inclusive (just). Using the four transformative adaptation characteristics, this upcoming panel discussion will delve into the conditions and mechanisms required to incorporate transformative change and systemic resilience into adaptation strategies relevant to their respective fields.

The goal is of the side event is to shape region-wide priorities and pathways essential for accelerating transformative adaptation, while making progress in addressing both adaptation and loss and damage within the context of the Global Stocktake and the Global Goal on Adaptation.
