Patrick Verkooijen deletes his Wikipedia Page amid the Global Center on Adaptation Crisis

Patrick Verkooijen , once a prominent global voice in climate adaptation and development finance, is now at the centre of growing scrutiny following the financial crisis facing the Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA) and the apparent removal of his Wikipedia page. The unfolding developments paint a complex picture of leadership, institutional challenges, and shifting global priorities in climate funding. This writer has been tracking Patrick Verkooijen and has noticed that PVV petitioned Wikipedia to delete his profile after scandals began following him wherever he goes. Patrick Verkooijen deletes his Wikipedia Page amid the Global Center on Adaptation Crisis Patrick Verkooijen built his reputation as a high-level executive working at the intersection of climate policy, international development, and global finance . He served as CEO of the Global Centre on Adaptation from 2018 to 2026, positioning the organisation as a major player in climate resilience—particularly for vulnerable regions such as Africa. He also held academic roles, including serving as Chancellor of the University of Nairobi, further strengthening his profile in both policy and academia. Hello Nyakundi, Sex Escapades of University of Nairobi Counsellor Professor Patrick Verkooijen Everyone knows that the University of Nairobi Students Association (UNSA) is a puppet, a shell of the Student Organization of Nairobi University(SONU) that now puts the welfare and manipulation of the University’s council masquerading as students wishes. UNSA does not represent the students well like SONU did. UNSA is full of flower girls, full of recruits hired sidely as NIS agents. There’s nothing greater than having information about students relayed to the state, to crush any free-will, rational thoughts and debates of these emerging young Kenyans than to relay information about emerging discontent among the students to the state. Professor Verkooijen has also stepped a notch higher, his dck has found a way with the ladies at UNSA and influential student prefects at the university. It is not a secret that some female students often sleep with lecturers for higher marks. Imagine sleeping with the Counsellor, the top-most dog at the university. However, recent events have dramatically shifted the narrative surrounding both Verkooijen and the institution he led. Patrick Verkooijen deletes his Wikipedia Page amid the Global Center on Adaptation Crisis The Global Centre on Adaptation, headquartered in Rotterdam, is now facing a severe financial crisis that threatens its very existence. Reports indicate that the organisation is at risk of shutting down after key donors—including the Netherlands and the United Kingdom—withdrew funding. This has left GCA with only $4 million pledged for the current year , a sharp decline from over five times that amount in 2024. With an annual operational budget of approximately $6 million , the funding gap has created immediate pressure on the organisation’s sustainability. As a direct consequence, nearly a third of the workforce is now facing layoffs. Out of approximately 65 employees, at least 20 positions are at risk, with internal discussions already underway regarding possible forced redundancies. The situation is particularly dire for international staff whose Dutch work visas are tied to their employment with GCA. Internal communications suggest that while the organisation acknowledges these concerns, it lacks the financial capacity to support affected employees through the transition. The crisis reached a turning point when Verkooijen announced his resignation, signalling a leadership shift at a critical moment. His departure coincides with that of Ban Ki-moon , who has long been a public face and influential supporter of the organisation. The dual exit of these high-profile figures underscores the gravity of the situation. Leadership of the organisation is now expected to transition to Ameenah Gurib-Fakim and Rindra Rabarinirinaris…
