"We welcome the ongoing work on the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program as a means to further increase the momentum and impact of the adaptation action in Africa," said Dr Maria Flachsbarth, Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany, at the Leaders’ Dialogue on the Africa Covid-Climate Emergency held on 6 April 2021.
The Leaders’ Dialogue on the Africa Covid-Climate Emergency was convened by the African Development Bank and the Global Center on Adaptation on 6 April 2021, in close collaboration with the United Nations. The virtual event brought together African Heads of States and Governments, bilateral partners, heads of international organizations and development agencies. More than 30 world leaders rallied behind the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program (AAAP), led by the African Development Bank and the Global Center on Adaptation. AAAP will upscale triple-win solutions that address Covid-19, climate change and the economy.
