COP27 - UN Climate Change Conference’s Post

I am pleased to share with you this interesting assessment of climate adaptation and resilience in Uzbekistan. This report uses the adaptation principles to perform an economy-wide assessment of Uzbekistan’s adaptation and resilience. The report aims to identify key gaps and propose critical actions and policy recommendations that will facilitate the transition towards a ‘green’ economy by 2030. The report analyzes the foundation for inclusive economic growth, existing mechanisms to facilitate the adaptation of people and firms, and policies and actions to adapt land use and protect critical public assets and services. It also explores how the system helps firms and people manage residual risks and natural disasters and investigates how financial and macro-fiscal issues are managed. Lastly, this report explores Uzbekistan’s current prioritization, implementation, and progress monitoring system of adaptation and resilience. 😍 https://lnkd.in/eSHZedm3

Looking Ahead to COP29: Building on the COP28 UAE Declaration for the most vulnerable is a significant way forward. The groundwork laid by the COP28 Declaration on #Climate, Relief, Recovery, and Peace must guide our continued efforts.

Our focus should be on deepening the integration of climate action for those who need help the most so that we can continue the legacy of COP28 to ensure that COP29 brings even more tangible support and solutions.
