Abstract

Despite robust international recognition of the importance of Capacity building and Action climate empowerment, they are frequently stuck in translating into sustained, tangible climate action at national and local levels. In this sense, the pervasive implementation gap significantly undermines these efforts, specifically in developing countries. That is why this paper explores the critical barriers, including systemic fragmentation of governance and chronic underfunding of climate actions. Thus, this paper aims to strengthen and integrate Capacity Building and Action Climate Empowerment for climate solutions, as it is claimed that the most critical issue within this domain is the persistent disconnect between policy commitments and tangible, on-the-ground impact. To tackle this critical implementation gap, the paper proposes two actionable policy recommendations, which are strengthening national institutional frameworks and integrate governance for Action Climate Empowerment (ACE), besides mobilizing sustainable climate finance for capacity development and Action Climate Empowerment (ACE). In this respect, the purpose of these recommendations is to empower all members of society to engage in climate action actively and effectively to achieve global climate goals. While the world prepares for COP-30 in Belém, the focus should be on accelerating concrete, applicable, and impactful climate solutions
