UN Agencies Call for Greater Global Cooperation on Climate Resilience

International organisations say stronger collaboration is needed as countries face increasingly frequent climate-related disasters.

United Nations agencies are urging governments to strengthen international cooperation on climate resilience as countries around the world continue experiencing more frequent heatwaves, floods, droughts and wildfires. The appeal comes amid growing evidence that extreme weather events are placing increasing pressure on public health systems, infrastructure and food security.

UN officials say climate adaptation should become a central component of national development strategies, with greater investment in disaster preparedness, resilient infrastructure and early warning systems.

Recent extreme weather across Europe, Asia and North America has highlighted the importance of coordinated international action, particularly in protecting vulnerable communities and reducing long-term economic losses.

Climate experts also emphasised the need for increased financial support to developing countries that face disproportionate impacts from climate change despite contributing relatively little to global greenhouse gas emissions.

Analysts believe the issue will remain a major priority at upcoming international climate and development meetings, as governments seek practical solutions to growing environmental challenges.
