H eld on International Women’s Day, the Youth Adaptation Forum on Young Women Leadership sought to bring attention to the young women working on the ground to create and implement adaptation solutions. The Youth Adaptation Forum on Young Women and Leadership raised awareness of the gender inequalities exacerbated by climate disasters and encouraged young women to share their best practices for climate adaptation action through their work.

In 2024, GCA is organizing six thematic Youth Adaptation Forums based on adaptation areas prioritized by young people; Young Women Leadership for Adaptation, Water, Climate-resilient Agriculture, Nature-based Solutions, Youth Entrepreneurship, Adaptation Jobs, and Finance and Locally Led Adaptation.  
 
The Youth Adaptation Forums bring together young people, governments, civil society, practitioners, international organizations, and decision-makers to mobilize adaptation solutions led by young people.
