At a workshop on Enhanced Direct Access @GCAdaptation LLA Lead @jusharma debunks the myth that Locally Led Adaptation #LLA equals small scale. She argues LLA must be planned as large-scale initiatives, integrated across government levels, as bypassing governments can undermine systemic change. #LocallyLedAdaptation #ClimateAdaptation #GlobalHubOnLLA @theGCF and Adaptation Fund @adaptationfund

At the @GCAdaptation @theGCF and @adaptationfund workshop on Enhanced Direct Access today, Benito Müller @OxfordClimate, deconstructs the flaws in climate adaptation funding mechanisms. He highlights how donor micromanagement, aimed at ensuring accountability, often backfires by creating unnecessarily long project pipelines. A sentiment shared by many Direct Access Entities.

Today, the process for #People’sAdaptationPlanning by low-income communities (LICs) in #Chattogram received the endorsement of Acting Mayor Afroza Zahur, @ctgwasa Managing Director A K M Fazlullah, LIC representatives, and prominent civil society leaders. They underscored that these plans are vital for planned investments in water and sanitation services for the impoverished, supported by @WorldBank. This significant locally led initiative, facilitated by @wateraid and Dushtha Shasthya Kendra, is proudly backed by @GCAdaptation.

[Prof. Patrick V. Verkooijen @Prof_PatrickV]

It was a privilege to visit Chattogram and listen and learn from climate-vulnerable communities on the frontlines of our climate emergency. Their insights and ownership of their locally-led People’s Adaptation Plans are invaluable for guiding international financial institutions. Together, we will build a more resilient future. #Chattogram #AdaptOurWorld #LocallyLed

[Prof. Patrick V. Verkooijen @Prof_PatrickV]

Thank you, Hon. Dr. Abul Hassan, Finance Minister, for your unwavering commitment to strengthening our productive partnership. Together, we are building resilience in the face of global economic challenges exacerbated by climate change.

[Global Center on Adaptation @GCAdaptation]

Inspiring meeting between our CEO @ProfPatrick_GCA with Bangladesh Environment Secretary, Farhina Ahmed. The discussion underscored the robust partnership between @bdmoefcc and GCA, pivotal for Bangladesh’s journey towards resilience and prosperity. We reaffirmed the need to work together to push for the doubling of climate finance by 2025.

The absence of #women in the visual narrative of #COP28 raises concerns about whether the diverse voices of women are genuinely being heard and incorporated into #climate policies, write @NakabuyeHildaF, @txaisurui & @Brianna_Fruean #gender https://t.co/4hgoxHIdzm

[Prof. Patrick V. Verkooijen @Prof_PatrickV]

Grateful for the bold leadership of H.E. @Macky_Sall, President of Senegal and Board Member of @GCAdaptation, in calling on development partners to deliver the vital 2025 adaptation finance doubling target at #COP28. Indeed, together we will make this century Africa's century.

[Prof. Patrick V. Verkooijen @Prof_PatrickV]
