Climate adaptation needs investment that delivers real impact.

At the 3rd ADB Climate Adaptation Investment Planning Forum, the British Embassy Manila highlighted the Philippine Adaptation Investment Platform, a UK-supported initiative helping turn climate adaptation priorities into projects that can attract investment.

Together with the Philippines, we are helping communities and farmers access the finance and solutions they need to build resilience to climate change.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Every child deserves the chance to grow up safe, loved, and supported in a family.

One year ago, countries and partners came together at the UN General Assembly to launch the Global Charter for Children’s Care Reform, united by a simple goal: ensuring every child can grow up in a safe, nurturing, and permanent family environment.

🌏 This commitment continues through the ASEAN High-Level Forum on Child Care Reform, where ASEAN Member States and partners shared practical ways to strengthen child protection systems, support families, and improve care for children.

🤝 The UK is proud to work with ASEAN and partners to help turn commitments into action, so that every child can grow up in a family where they are safe, loved, and able to thrive.
