Governments, which have a unique capacity to convene all relevant stakeholders from the private sector, civil society and the scientific community, have an important role to play in facilitating consultations with, interactions among and the participation of those stakeholders so as to enhance reciprocal trust. As highlighted above, actions in multiple sectors (including energy, health, agriculture, transportation and technology, among many others) and at different levels of governance are therefore required to provide coordinated and coherent policy support. An additional layer of complexity is imposed by the fact that the negative impact of climate hazards is usually localized.
