ARA Tracking, Learning & Sharing Showcase Event

On the 6 November the ARA showcased the Tracking, Learning, and Sharing (TLS) initiative of the ARA, highlighting impactful adaptation research and learning exchanges from the Global South.

The event highlighted how TLS is advancing collaborative adaptation research and action, particularly in regions most vulnerable to climate change.

The showcase featured keynotes from individuals who have shaped the TLS program, along with panel discussions. The first discussion featured ARA members who have participated in the TLS process, sharing their experiences and insights. The second panel included funders and partners, exploring how investment in TLS can support broader adaptation goals.
