Waiting for text on #GlobalStocktake and #GGA to have meaningful language on scaling up grant-based #adaptation finance. What good is a goal with indicators if the core MOI - means of implementation - namely #ClimateFinance is missing? On the next to last day of #COP28 a reminder

I recognize Mr. Ansumana Camara for closely following #climatejustice and campaigning to #endfossilfinance. Congrats team Gambia. I'm truly proud of Gambia's role in COP28, thanks to our leadership from Ministry of Environment (MECCNAR) and the active participation of all stakeholders. #COP28.
