That's the number - $310–365bn needed for adaptation annually. Adaptation requires long-term, predictable financing, yet the level of quality finance is decreasing. How can we support better financing for adaptation? Check what African experts had to say 👉 www.youtube.com/live/3qBuxVj...

What if climate-vulnerable countries led climate action instead of waiting for it? LDCs created a blueprint: 5 Offers & 5 Asks that flip traditional partnerships on their head Shared leadership. Shared purpose. Support that reaches communities. This is LIFE-AR. ➡️

Why is LIFE-AR different?
LIFE-AR has a unique principle-based and partnership-based approach, closely linked to the LDC Vision.

Climate finance shrinking while impacts worsen—but paralysis isn't an option Africa's pathway: - Join dots between policy & practice - Think medium/long-term,s - Allocate where needed most - Build collective capabilities—civil society, private sector, government together Evidence over promises!

Insights on climate finance: Adaptation finance dropped from $28bn to $26bn while needs hit $310-365bn by 2035 That's a 12-14× gap—and growing Worse: 61% comes as debt, only 18% reaches LDCs, only 10% gets to communities where impact hits hardest Tripling quantity won't work if quality stays broken

Our second speaker really nailed it on just transition! "Just transition" in Africa isn't about moving away from fossil fuels:it's about transitioning INTO prosperity. Africa needs to reframe this conversation on its own terms or risk locking in new injustices under green labels

GGA risk: reporting tools that don't lead to action. GGA opportunity: evidence base to demand what Africa needs—capacity for modeling, quality finance, tech transfer, reduced burden. The indicators exist, they need to be used to shift from reporting to action.

Interesting insights from our first speaker on the GGA! The GGA started as Africa's proposal to understand gaps & needs 59 indicators later, it's becoming a tool for what it was meant to be: linking technical support, finance & capacity to actual developing country needs.
