The ARA announced at COP28 it has mobilised over GBP 3m in investments for action-oriented research that addresses pressing adaptation needs of those most vulnerable to climate impacts.

30 awardees from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America & the Caribbean will receive micro-grants of up to GBP 15,000 to carry out inclusive, locally-led action research.

The ARA has partnered with the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), officially signing a Statement of Intent with the body at the International Climate Initiative.
