This is the second in a series of three virtual meetings under LAKI MENA Phase II engagement for the West Asia/GCC and North Africa subregions.

These meetings are being co-organized by the UNFCCC secretariat, UNFCCC-WGEO Regional Collaboration Centre (RCC Dubai) for the Middle-East, North Africa and South Asia, the UNEP Regional Office for West Asia (ROWA) and the Global Adaptation Network (GAN), and the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UNESCWA).

These meetings are being designed as part of the Lima Adaptation Knowledge Initiative which seeks to close priority adaptation knowledge gaps at subregional level. This entails convening interested adaptation experts and institutions to undertake actions to close the priority knowledge gaps.
