Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA I) Impact Report Launch Event and Webinar
Convened by: UNDP and UN CTCN
Proposed duration: 90 minutes
Time: There will be two sessions on February 3, 2026, to accommodate for various times zones: 9.30 am CET and 15.00 CET.
The Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (AFCIA) represents a strategic investment by the Adaptation Fund to accelerate the development, deployment and scaling of innovative adaptation solutions in particularly vulnerable countries, notably Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). It places a strong emphasis on innovation, learning and collaboration across a diverse set of Implementing Entities and delivery partners.
The first phase of the Programme was implemented by UNEP through the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) and the UNDP, with support by the Adaptation Fund and EU funding. Programme closure was followed up by a two volume Impact Report.
Purpose of the Webinar & Launch
The Webinar aims to officially launch the AFCIA Impact Report, volume 1 and 2, present high-level programme results, reinforce AFCIA’s commitment to innovation and locally led adaptation, and showcase concrete grantee impacts across key thematic areas highlighted in the report.
This event is open to any one who wishes to attend. We would be delighted if professionals working with adaptation issues would join us to learn more about the AFCIA I programme and its impact and results. We would also welcome project donors and partners, current or potential donors, adaptation practitioners, private sector investors, academia, AFCIA grantees, climate innovation stakeholders.
Two separate Zoom sessions will be organized to accommodate different time zones, at 9.30h (GMT+1) and 15.00h (GMT+1), both on February 3, 2026.
