Within the activities of the MENA Climate Week 2022 and the Lima Adaptation Knowledge Initiative (LAKI), ESCWA, in partnership with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the United Nations Environment Programme Regional Office for West Asia, the World Green Economy Organization, and the Regional Collaboration Center for the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, is organizing an event to build momentum to close adaptation knowledge gaps in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
This event responds to the knowledge and resilience needs of countries through tailored information crucial for implementing adaptation actions, a key element of the Paris Agreement. The event demonstrates the role of LAKI, as a joint initiative, in engaging experts from different international, regional and national agencies to take further steps to close existing knowledge gaps regarding climate impacts in the North African and Gulf Cooperation Council subregions.
The meeting gathers government representatives, adaptation experts and practitioners, implementing agencies and networks in the MENA region, and bilateral and multilateral donors.
