Feike Sijbesma Appointed New Co-Chair of the Board of the Global Center on Adaptation - Seite 3

The GCA is the lead partner institution for the Climate Adaptation Summit in Amsterdam on 22nd October 2020 hosted by Prime Minister Mark Rutte of the Netherlands - the first major gathering of international leaders dedicated entirely to adaptation. The GCA is also the Managing Partner of the Global Commission on Adaptation co-chaired by Ban Ki-moon, Bill Gates and Kristalina Georgieva, which was formed to mobilize knowledge resources and catalyse political support for urgent action to climate adaptation solutions. The GCA is also the Managing Partner to the Vulnerable Twenty (V20) Group of Ministers of Finance and to the Climate Vulnerable Forum, a group of 48 developing countries highly vulnerable to climate change.

In the run-up to the 2020 Climate Adaptation Summit, the GCA is driving a "Year of Action" on climate adaptation to translate commitments secured by the Global Commission on Adaptation into concrete activities on the ground. The Climate Adaptation Summit itself will adopt a "Global Compact on Adaptation" to carry forward visionary efforts to significantly scale up adaptation over the next 5 to 10 years.
