100% agree w @ManojSinhaHusk
Modern energy makes people more resilient to climate hazards by improving incomes, diversifying livelihoods, enabling access to info & digi finance.
Adaptation funds need to step up and support DRE. It is a direct, rapid, & impactful investment!
“There's need for adaptation climate financing to solve climate hazards and make the energy systems more resilient. The normal capital is too expensive for these kinds of climate events.”
