LDC Chair

At #COP31, we’re launching the #LIFEAR Facility to help least developed countries scale up locally led climate adaptation. We aim to mobilise US$80M by 2030 and US$360M by 2035. Join us by signing the LIFE-AR Partnership Compact.

At today’s #COP31 press conference, I stressed the urgency of keeping 1.5°C within reach, delivering accessible climate finance, strengthening adaptation, and addressing loss and damage. LDCs need action, not promises. Thank you to the press.

Every fraction of a degree matters. Every delay costs lives.

At #COP31, LDC Chair Amb. Adão Soares Barbosa urged deeper emissions cuts, grant-based finance, stronger adaptation and urgent loss & damage funding.

For 44 LDCs, action cannot wait.
