I welcome Denmark’s announcement that it will allocate 60% of climate financial aid to climate adaptation measures in its national budget proposal.
This is a powerful example of #ClimateAction leadership for other donor countries & multilateral development banks to follow.

Why do we need compassion? Experience tells us that it brings inner strength. It also benefits others and we face many unnecessary problems when we lack it. To understand this we must develop a holistic way of seeing the bigger picture, which means we must use our intelligence.
