The GCA is headed by former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Bill Gates, and World Bank CEO Kristalina Georgieva and was formally launched today, October 16, 2018, at The Hague, Netherlands. Its managing partners are the Global Center on Adaptation based in Rotterdam, Netherlands and World Resources Institute (WRI) based in Washington, D.C.
