The 9th Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation (APAN) Forum wrapped up with an impactful closing ceremony and a strong call to action for transformational climate adaptation held on October 3, 2025, at the UNCC, Bangkok, Thailand. 🇹🇭

The ceremony began with a surprise performance from UNEP Goodwill Ambassadors Antoinette Taus (@antoinettetaus) and @alexrendell, joined by UNFCCC Director of the Adaptation Programme Dr. Youssef Nassef.

Global leaders reaffirmed that transformational adaptation goes beyond adjusting to climate change; it is about redefining development pathways to ensure adaptation that is just, inclusive, and deeply transformative through inclusive governance, equitable finance, community leadership, and systemic collaboration.

During the ceremony, Antoinette also paid tribute to Dr. Jane Goodall (@janegoodallinst), honoring her life of service to the Earth and all living beings, inspiring everyone to continue her legacy of hope, empathy, and action for our planet. 🌏

CORA is honored to have been among the 850 participants from more than 50 countries who came together to exchange ideas, share lessons, and strengthen collaboration toward a more resilient future. This experience further strengthens CORA’s commitment to turning words into action, empowering communities, and advancing systemic approaches for lasting climate resilience. 🌳
