On Wednesday 16 November 2022, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, the High-level Climate Champions, the Global Climate Action Agenda for Ocean and Coastal Zones and the Ocean & Climate Platform, together with partners, will host the Ocean Action Day: “Ocean for Climate – implementing ocean-based climate action to build coastal adaptation and resilience”. In line with COP27 priorities, the event will take a deep dive on effective implementation, sustainable financing, mitigation, as well as adaptation and resilience solutions. It will specifically focus on the African continent, where people and ecosystems are at the forefront of climate impacts. The session will be divided in two panels: (1) Scaling-up coastal adaptation and resilience responses and (2) Financing ocean and coastal action.
