The Arab Republic of Egypt hosted the 27th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh in November 2022. COP27 goals and vision are for inclusive, rules-based, and ambitious, substantive outcomes, commensurate with the challenge based on science and guided by principles building on agreements, decisions, pledges, and commitments, from RIO 1992 to Glasgow 2021. We seek to accelerate global climate action through emissions reduction, scaled-up adaptation efforts, and enhanced flows of appropriate finance. We recognize that 'just transition' remains a priority for developing countries worldwide. Therefore, the idea and direction to implement the National Climate Change Strategy is to support communities to reduce as well as respond to the impacts of climate change.

For 14 years, the Climate Change Working Group (CCWG), founded in 2008, has been a driving force in climate action.

The CCWG has grown to be a powerful coalition of over a hundred organisations, with a combined budget of approximately USD invested in climate change actions between 2018 and 2020. In addition, the CCWG maintains an approximately 1,300-person mailing list.
This new strategy for 2022-2025 is critical for the country, not only because climate change impacts are expected to be more severe and detrimental to the lives and livelihoods of millions of people but also because several new national policies will be implemented during this period. The CCWG...

Background
The latest IPCC report and the increased focus on locally led adaptation highlights the importance of providing support to the most vulnerable communities and locations at subnational levels. This is in stark contrast to the realities of current international climate finance flows. Less than 10 percent of international adaptation finance, between 2003 and 2016, was approved for locally focused climate change projects (Soanes et al., 2019). The current climate finance mechanisms must be revisited to ensure that finance is received by those who need it the most and that interventions are supported by organisations with in-depth understanding of the local context for implementation, namely Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).
Barriers and bottlenecks for CSOs in accessing and delivering adaptation finance
The following barriers and bottlenecks have been identified:
