AWF endorses the #COP28 Declaration on Climate Relief Recovery and Peace. We ascribe to the Declaration’s call for immediate & structural action across financial support, programming & partnerships to improve conflict sensitivity while enacting people-centric solutions

We will be hosting an engaging dialogue on the financial transformations needed to address #biodiversity loss and the #ClimateChange crisis during the upcoming COP28 UAE . The dialogue will take place on the 3rd of December at the Somalia Pavilion
