Canada supporting climate change adaptation at COP28

In line with Health and Relief, Recovery and Peace Day at COP28 Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault highlighted Canada’s international adaptation finance by investing in locally led and gender-balanced adaptation initiatives.

Canada will provide $5 million over three years to the Least Developed Countries Initiative for Effective Adaptation and Resilience. This project aims to help least developed countries be on climate-resilient pathways by 2030.

Least developed countries work with hundreds of experts from around the world to learn from, and build on, existing good practices. This initiative empowers least developed countries to build climate resilience, reduce their vulnerability, and showcase innovation.
