Post-COP30 debrief: lessons from Belém and the road ahead for adaptation

This webinar, organized by weADAPT, brings together adaptation experts to unpack the key developments, debates, and decisions from COP30, exploring what was achieved, where progress stalled, and what priorities now lie ahead.

Our discussion will delve into the major outcomes on adaptation, from negotiations around the Global Goal on Adaptation and new finance commitments to the persistent challenges of turning pledges into action. We’ll consider which initiatives gained momentum, where setbacks occurred, and how the results shape the next phase of adaptation planning, finance, and implementation. The panel will also reflect on what these developments mean for practitioners, policymakers, and communities working to strengthen resilience on the ground.

Speakers:

• Tracy Kajumba, Director, LIFE-AR interim secretariat, IIED
• Timo Leiter, Distinguished Policy Fellow, LSE
• Host and facilitation: Alice Chautard and Katy Harris, SEI
