BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, September 27. Adaptation
plans will assist Central Asian countries to develop a common
position at COP29, UN Resident Coordinator in Kyrgyzstan Antje
Grawe said at the regional conference“Adaptation Planning and
Financing in the Central Asian Region: The Road to COP29”, Trend reports.
According to her, the national adaptation plans that already
exist or are ready for approval, as well as the envisioned regional
adaptation plan, will help Central Asian countries develop a common
position at COP29.
“The upcoming COP29 provides a unique opportunity to reach an
agreement on adaptation financing needs, practices, and
instruments, thereby breathing life into the provisions of the Pact
for the Future adopted at this week's Future Summit,” she said.
Grawe noted that in this pact, UN member states recognize that
“adaptation finance will need to be significantly increased to
(...) support the urgent and evolving needs to accelerate
adaptation and build resilience in developing countries while
emphasizing that finance, capacity building, and technology
transfer are critical factors in combating climate change”.
“I strongly hope countries participating in COP29 will agree to
strengthen support for implementing national and regional
adaptation plans, including through financial commitments and
technical assistance. This will also pave the way for the
development of the third generation of nationally determined
contributions to be submitted by Member States before COP30 in
Brazil,” she added.
