<p>Driving progress to support vulnerable communities and ecosystems, adapt to climate
impacts and build resilience to long term risks is a top priority for the UK’s COP26
Presidency. We are working with countries, civil society, businesses and local communities
to deliver effective, inclusive adaptation action and to harness the vital power of
nature in minimising climate risk.</p><p>We are focussed on improving preparedness
for climate-related disasters, through a focus on enhanced early warning and early
action systems; and supporting national adaptation planning - including a push for
countries to publish an Adaptation Communication ahead of COP26 to outline current
progress and needs. We are working to mobilise and advance adaptation action across
all scales, through parties and non-state actors - including increased support to
enable further locally-led adaptation. We are also working to increase the availability,
efficiency and accessibility of adaptation and disaster risk finance from public and
private sources - including through the Taskforce on Access to finance that was launched
by the UK and Fiji at the Climate and Development Ministerial earlier this year.</p>
