For CAN Tanzania, our message was focused on:

📌The use of climate information technologies to anticipate risks
📌Timely finance and coordination to support preparedness and community resilience
Climate action is humanitarian action when it helps communities anticipate, prepare, and build resilience (Leave no one behind).
