Development aid funds have in recent years shifted focus significantly towards climate change; but massive challenges are yet to be overcome in how we allocate and design aid initiatives in an effective manner to effectively address the continuing challenges from climate change.
This ReCom - Research and Communication on Foreign Aid results meeting will aim at reporting on the findings related to the question around aid, environment and climate change.
