During London Climate Action Week, Abt Global hosted a Roundtable on empowering women and youth in vulnerable communities to adapt to climate change titled "Catalysing Climate Change Adaptation: Women, Youth, and Climate Finance in Action." Speakers explored empowering women and youth in vulnerable communities to drive climate adaptation actions, underscoring their roles in locally-led climate action. They also discussed how enhancing their access to resources and decision-making can promote climate-aligned development and disaster risk management. By providing access to extension services, finance, business models, and capacity-building, these communities can become strong advocates for climate-resilient development. Speakers from Abt Global, Save the Children UK, Iora Ecological Solutions, Green Climate Fund, and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office shared valuable insights.
