The Community of Practice of #DirectAccess Entities event today at #TheClimateFunds #COP29 pavilion was a great discussion among #AdaptationFund and #TheGCF entities to share experiences of peer-peer collaboration to enhance project implementation of country-driven climate action. Dr. Manish Raj Pandey, of the Adaptation Fund's newest accredited national implementing entity (its 35th), the National Trust for Nature Conservation, of Nepal, was joined on a panel by entity representatives from Africa and Latin America to discuss the importance of building national capacities and country ownership to adapt and build resilience to #climatechange through Direct Access.

As we work towards a climate-resilient future, the Global Goal on Adaptation is critical—but achieving real progress requires more than just frameworks. We need measurable targets, concrete actions, and the right financial support to ensure effective adaptation. In this session, Adaptation Fund, Climate Investment Funds, Global Environment Facility and Green Climate Fund explore how Multilateral Climate Funds are helping overcome key challenges in adaptation. #Finance4Climate #COP29

As climate change intensifies, vulnerable communities in developing countries face mounting challenges. Hosted by Adaptation Fund and CAF -banco de desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe-, this session at #COP29 will explore how adaptation financing within a just transition framework can ensure no one is left behind. Key topics: - Locally-led Adaptation (LLA): Empowering local actors with decision-making and financial inclusion. - Adaptation Finance: Unlocking resources to build resilience and support equitable, climate-resilient pathways. - Global Cooperation: Aligning global efforts and financing mechanisms to ensure inclusive adaptation. Join us as we explore how the Latin American and Caribbean region can leverage financial tools to drive a fair and sustainable transition.
