ECERFSD 2019: Adriana Spahiu's Intervention on Acting for Climate: Stepping Up Climate Change Policies, Action and Awareness in the Region

Many people think that climate mitigation should pay itself, via market mechanism. But we know that climate disasters are causing immense costs to vulnerable countries and communities. We heard so from Bosnia Herzegovina in the previous session. There is not at all enough funding to pay for climate adaptation. The mechanism is not there. Should we not have climate taxes go into a climate adaptation fund ?

Adriana Spahiu (Women in Development Shkodre) spoke on behalf of the Regional Civil Society Engagement Mechanism, on Acting for Climate: Stepping Up Climate Change Policies, Action and Awareness in the Region, at the SDG 13, session 1, during the UNECE RFSD, in Geneva on 22 March 2019.
