SUMMARY:Advancing Action on Adaptation: Implications of COP28
DESCRIPTION:This event has now passed. Watch the recording below:  \n \nPhoto credit: AKF / Christopher Wilton-Steer. As part of the AKDN’s flood response in Pakistan\, workers construct flood protection walls\, focused on highly vulnerable areas that are more remote\, isolated\, and disaster-prone. \nGreater support and action on adaptation is a longstanding need\, as outlined in the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA)\, established under the 2015 Paris Agreement. The estimated cost of adaptation for developing countries could reach up to US$387 billion annually within this decade\, underscoring the importance of addressing the scale and frequency of climate-related disasters and impacts. The GGA is a framework to provide measurable targets\, indicators\, and guidelines aimed at catalysing adaptation initiatives and enhancing financing and support for developing countries. Yet\, putting the GGA into action has proved challenging. \nAt COP28\, Parties identified gaps as part of the first Global Stocktake\, and sought to advance progress on the GGA by adopting the UAE Framework for Global Climate Resilience. \nOn February 22\, join Aga Khan Foundation Canada and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) for a virtual event on advancing global action on adaptation and the implications of COP28’s adaptation-related outcomes. The event will include presentations\, a panel discussion with experts\, followed by a Q&A\, and interactive discussion groups. \nThrough this virtual event\, we aim to: \n\nSupport Canadian organizations and other interested practitioners in better understanding adaptation-related outcomes of COP28\, including progress on the GGA.\nConsider approaches for connecting local knowledge and scientific data to strengthen resilience through a case study on Aga Khan Agency for Habitat adaptation initiatives in vulnerable mountain environments.\nEngage participants in an interactive discussion on how GGA-related outcomes may affect local adaptation initiatives\, particularly those related to monitoring\, evaluation\, and learning frameworks.\n\nPresenters \n\nDeo Raj Gurung\, Chief Scientist for Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH)\nEmilie Beauchamp\, Lead\, Monitoring\, Evaluation and Learning for Adaptation\, Resilience Program for International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)\n\nWith remarks from Liam Thorne\, Program and Partnerships Officer\, AKFC \nPanelists \n\nModerator: Emilie Beauchamp\, Lead\, Monitoring\, Evaluation and Learning for Adaptation\, Resilience Program for International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)\nEmily Goodwin\, Senior Manager\, Climate Policy for Rare\nKristen Ostling\, Senior Advisor\, Policy and Advocacy for Plan International Canada\n\nAdditional panelists will be announced. \nQuestions? Please contact akfc.events@akdn.org \nAbout the organizers \nThis event is co-hosted by AKFC and IISD as part of AKFC’s Speaker Series on Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation and IISD’s Nature for Climate Adaptation Initiative (NCAI)\, supported by Global Affairs Canada. \nAKFC’s Speaker Series on Climate Change Resilience and Adaptation \nThe series aims to bring together practitioners\, advocates\, and others who share an interest in exploring and discussing how we may use the climate crisis as a catalyst for great leaps in addressing the complex challenges involved in confronting climate change in a manner that advances sustainable development\, well-being\, and resilient livelihoods for all. \nRegister Today!\n  \n
