Join us for this session at the Africa Climate Week! Climate-related disasters are increasingly affecting African livelihoods, disproportionately impacting vulnerable groups and posing significant risks for millions across the continent. This session highlights how UN agencies, including UNCDF, UNEP and UNU, are helping to address these challenges by connecting African stakeholders and closing adaptation knowledge gaps.

The session will feature interactive discussions that showcase successful initiatives and practices that foster collaboration and inclusivity among stakeholders. It will present examples of locally-led climate solutions focused on water, agriculture, and more. Crucially, the session will contribute to the Global Stocktake (GST) process by identifying region-specific initiatives that scale up support and preparedness for the 1.5°C trajectory and beyond, offering methodologies and financing approaches that are already delivering results.
