The Gambia Strengthens Climate Cooperation in China

A multi-sectoral Gambian delegation participated in the Seminar on Climate Change and Sustainable Development for Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Countries in Beijing, China. The forum brought together representatives from partner countries to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and explore innovative solutions for climate change adaptation, environmental protection, and sustainable development.

The participation provided valuable opportunities for capacity building, policy dialogue, and international cooperation in areas such as climate resilience, natural resource management, disaster risk reduction, climate finance, and sustainable water management.

The engagement reinforces The Gambia’s commitment to climate action, environmental sustainability, and inclusive green growth while strengthening partnerships with China and other BRI countries to advance sustainable development goals.
