Our second panel of the afternoon is kicking off now with @Deon_Nel_ of @grp_resilience. How can we get money to where it matters to mobilise those on the frontline of climate change? #LDNClimateActionpic.twitter.com/7sf88R8FFj
'Climate change is real & it is with us here. In Uganda, we've learned painfully that climate change is real & its impacts are devastating.' we hear from Hon Sam Cheptoris, Minister of Water & Environment of Uganda. #LDNClimateActionpic.twitter.com/ErE1fx8lpy
Uganda's goal is to reduce our GHG from 22% by 2030. However, money has not been forthcoming to help with this goal. The international community has to fulfil its obligation on climate finance, and make it easier to access. #LDNClimateAction
Despite the challenges, we in the Least Developed Countries have to participate & contribute to reducing the effects of climate change - in partnership between each other & our friends in the developed world. #LDNClimateAction
Now @LucySsendi representing Tanzania govt: we share the challenges of our friends in Gambia & Uganda. But in Tanzania we have decentralised climate finance which had been piloted to assist communities & we think we're on the right track. #LDNClimateActionpic.twitter.com/Be5l3eHFdO
Now @BethChit of @sdinet: we help slum dwellers to collect data on climate change to see how they can work with city govts & agencies to develop solutions for these already vulnerable communities. #LDNClimateActionpic.twitter.com/aou2mrc8gt
.@sdinet urban poor fund delivers money to 100mil urban poor to leverage their many resources. Loans to help urban poor communities be flexible to manage their own natural resources & hold themselves accountable. #LDNCLimateAction
Farayi Madziwa of @adaptationfund: as of Jan 2019 officially serving the #ParisAgreement. We finance concrete projects & programmes to help communities adapt to climate change. We're changing in response to needs & challenges faced particularly by LDCs & SIDS. #LDNClimateActionpic.twitter.com/zLuqYPkAeB
Malcolm Ridout of @DFID_UK tells us we're dealing with a very complex system that needs political commitment & technical support. LIFE-AR helps countries to engage with the complexities of the system. --> https://www.iied.org/ldc-initiative-for-effective-adaptation-resilience-life-ar … #LDNClimateActionpic.twitter.com/jG7ZdTGsxT
Our event today has been hosted by @WTW_uk. Simon Young tells us that about 25% of Willis' work is about climate risk. Insurance tools that have been deployed in the global South are now being used in the global North as well as climate impacts spread. #LDNClimateActionpic.twitter.com/Y1eipU8D8V
Sabera Khan of @reeep discussing how to bring energy solutions to rural people. Beyond the Grid fund for Zambia catalyses public finance to the private sector to provide energy services to rural areas - an off-grid, underdeveloped space. #LDNClimateActionpic.twitter.com/moNs9PueGM
'If we get a multitude of actors accessing this finance, then we will have more success. We need to sit around the table & design proper vehicles & projects to get finance into countries.' we hear from Ms Khan of @reeep #LDNCLimateAction
We've gone overtime with such a fascinating afternoon of experiences & challenges at #LDNClimateAction & we're hearing final remarks about what each country or agency would change to get finance flowing & stop climate change.pic.twitter.com/pMprRc2XmS
