COP17 policy position paper on adaptation: placing poor people and women at the centre of the world’s response to climate change

In this policy position paper for COP 17, CARE advocates for (i) pro-poor and gender-equitable approaches, and (ii) providing sufficient funding for and prioritise the needs of the most vulnerable people, for the adoption of lasting adaptation solutions in a changing climate. It states that at COP17 in Durban, Parties must deliver on the action items in the Cancun Agreements to continue operationalising the Adaptation Framework.
