Information about the event

The 29th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP29) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) concluded on 24 November 2024 in Baku, Azerbaijan, marking several landmark decisions to advance global climate action. With significant updates expected on the different processes under the Paris Agreement, including the global goal on adaptation, National Adaptation Plans, Adaptation financing and support to the work of adaptation-related constituted bodies such as the Adaptation Committee and the Least Developed Countries Expert Group, it is essential to translate these outcomes into actionable insights for regions highly vulnerable to climate change, such as East and Southern Africa.

This region faces significant challenges such as increased extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and unpredictable rainfall patterns that disrupt agriculture and threaten water resources, biodiversity, and the livelihoods of millions of people. As global attention on adaptation grows, COP 29 outcomes provided important opportunities for countries in East and Southern Africa to access climate finance, forge stronger international partnerships, and implement effective adaptation strategies. This post - COP29 webinar Series on adaptation and finance provide regional stakeholders an inclusive platform to unpack key decisions' implications, discuss regional priorities, and strategize implementation pathways.

The webinar series aims to:

• Highlight COP29 outcomes on adaptation and resilience, particularly focusing on the global goal on adaptation and adaptation financing including region-specific opportunities and challenges.
• Foster a shared understanding of key outcomes among regional stakeholders and guide parties and non-party stakeholders on the appropriate next steps.
• Identify capacity for implementing COP29 decisions, particularly for climate-vulnerable nations and communities.
• Strengthen regional collaboration and partnerships for enhanced climate action post-COP29.
