While the need to double adaptation finance has been acknowledged, the language surrounding this commitment remains weak. This weak language raises serious concerns about the actualization of closing the adaptation finance gap.

It is incumbent upon nations to transcend self-interest, embrace a shared responsibility, and implement policies that not only mitigate climate change but also uplift the marginalized.

#LeaveNoOneBehind
In the realm of climate justice, humanity is presented with both a moral imperative and a spiritual calling. The concept of stewardship over the Earth should be deeply embedded in us. God entrusted humanity with the responsibility to care for His creation.
#JusticeNow
In the global pursuit of climate justice, it is imperative that we acknowledge the interconnectedness of humanity and the environment. Climate change is not a challenge isolated to specific regions; rather, it is a collective responsibility that transcends borders and cultures.
We are happy to announce that we are organising a climate event that is bringing together community leaders, policy experts and activists to have powerful engagements about advancing a sustainable future.
James P. Grant, former

#WorldChildrensDay
Leaders must recognize that climate finance is an investment in a secure and stable future, requiring a commitment to allocate resources for both adaptation and mitigation efforts.
#LeaveNoOneBehind
Commitments made by wealthy nations to support developing countries must not remain distant promises. They must materialize as tangible investments in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and community resilience. Climate finance is not charity but a shared responsibility.
Climate change is not just a distant threat; it's happening now. We must act urgently to adapt to its impacts and protect vulnerable communities.
