Plenty to take in on Day 2 of #ECCA2025 β strong focus on turning knowledge into action.
Resilience, climate security, adaptation finance, citizen assembliesβ¦ All pointing to the same thing: we need joined-up thinking and practical tools to drive real change. But adaptation isnβt just about infrastructure β itβs about people. #Physiology shows us how climate impacts the body, and that insight is crucial for effective action.
ποΈAnd Day 2 finished with a great dinner on the beach.
