Building political ambition for adaptation at COP28 and beyond --> iied.org/building-polit…

Reflecting on the Climate & Development Ministerial process, which focused on adaptation ambition, this blog outlines why strong outcomes in this area are crucial to the success of #COP28 .

“The #stocktake must clearly articulate how & why countries are falling short on reaching their goals & make robust recommendations to drive an urgent increase in emissions reduction commitments, adaptation efforts, support to address occurring #LossAndDamage , & climate finance.”

Looking forward to showcasing the ambition on adaptation finance we’ve helped a champion group of countries develop an action plan for at COP28 UAE.
