Great to see my colleague @TKajumba on this important panel The LIFE-AR initiative helps to get climate finance to communities 🎉
IMF DMD Li: Nearly 90% of climate finance goes to mitigation. Developing countries – most of which have contributed the least to global emissions – need help adapting to climate change. Today at #COP29 we discussed strategies to urgently boost investment in adaptation.

While finance ministers are in DC for the annual meetings, their environment counterparts are in Cali. Not the best timing to get joined up solutions to global challenges but IIED is engaging in both. 👇

We @ONEintheUK join 120 orgs urging @RachelReevesMP @DavidLammy and @Keir_Starmer to protect UK’s vital aid. Last govt massively increased the raiding of aid budget to cover costs of refugees here at home. New govt must fix it and restore UK reputation.
