CCC Vice-Chairperson and Executive Director Robert E.A. Borje (in photo) outlined the country’s vulnerabilities and the robust policy framework now in place to address them as a shared responsibility.

“Our mandate is clear: to coordinate, monitor, and evaluate government programs to ensure we are building a nation resilient to climate impacts. But this is not the work of the CCC alone. It requires the concerted effort of every sector of society,” said Mr. Borje. “There is hope, but our hope should be firmly grounded on science-based and data-driven policy recommendations.”
