The Impact Report highlights the achievements of the inaugural African Youth Adaptation Solutions (YouthADAPT) Challenge cohort, demonstrating how investing in youth-led enterprises catalyzes the growth of micro and small to medium-sized enterprises, creates thousands of jobs and contributes to a more resilient future.

This report presents the outcomes of five Regional Youth Adaptation Forums and five Regional African Youth Consultations on Adaptation, which brought together over 6,550 young people in 137 countries in 2023.

In this year's Stories of Resilience, we bring you a crucial message from communities implementing adaptation on the ground: global and national systems are not changing fast enough in response to urgent local adaptation needs.
