“Paradigm shift” in financing climate action: Practical lessons from the LDC Initiative for effective adaptation and resilience
About this Event
As part of London Climate Action Week 2025, join this dynamic virtual panel of convened experts and leaders to explore how Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are transforming adaptation finance and championing “business unusual” approaches to accessing and delivering climate finance behind community priorities. Framed by the ambitious LDC 2050 Vision for climate resilience and the LIFE-AR initiative, the session will focus on how principle-driven approaches to delivering climate finance works in practice.
This session will cover:
– Why managing international climate finance is complex and difficult in LDCs
– What happens when partnership principles meet financial rulebooks and how development partners are applying them
– LDC Governments’ own solutions to managing complexity in planning processes
– How LIFE-AR reduces finance management burdens in LDCs
This event will suit civil servants, grant makers, professionals, researchers, and advocates, with interests in ethical partnerships, climate finance, the principles for locally led adaptation, and LDC leadership in climate action.
