Policy makers and climate experts drawn from 15 countries across the globe descended on Victoria Falls to share experiences and create synergies on how they can adapt to climate change as well as build resilience within their communities to minimize the effects of the global phenomenon.

The peer learning forum whose theme was, “Transitioning from Planning to Implementation in the National Adaptation Plan Process” was hosted by the National Adaptation Plan Global Network in collaboration with the Government of Zimbabwe to promote peer-to-peer learning on how countries can finance and take action on the priorities set out in their National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).

In interviews, the participants said they were excited at the knowledge-sharing experience adding that countries could no longer afford not to share information on various strategies that they were putting in place to adapt to the effects of climate change.
