One week from now, global leaders will join forces at the GCA’s flagship #COP29 Leaders Event “Global Champions for Locally Led Adaptation”. For adaptation finance to make a real impact, it must empower frontline communities. Our responsibility is clear: harness the power of community-led climate adaptation. Join us in driving this critical change.
