At the UN Secretary General’s Climate Action Summit in New York in September 2019, the Least Developed Country (LDC) Group launched their vision towards a climate-resilient future which is for all Least Developed Countries to be on climate-resilient development pathways by 2030 and deliver net-zero emissions by 2050 to ensure our societies and ecosystems thrive.
For this segment, organizations working on the Africa- LDC Projects will share their work and experiences from one of their initiatives that support the transition towards a climate resilient future LDC Initiative for Effective Adaptation and Resilience (LIFE-AR).
