How can we drive investment to locally-driven adaptation?

DAY 3

Day 3 opened with a Gender and Climate Talanoa. A Talanoa is an inclusive, participatory conversation - and this Talanoa included climate negotiators, policy makers, private sector representatives, practitioners and women at the grassroots. 

The Talanoa was opened by Mary Robinson, the first woman President of Ireland and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. Robinson highlighted the importance of  valuing 'lived experience' in climate discussions. Another panelist, Stella Gama, Deputy Director of Forestry at Malawi’s Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Environment, told the gathering that local and traditional knowledge voices are central to climate action. 

Devolved climate finance approach forges new ways of working between citizens and state

DAY 2

Devolved climate finance programmes incorporate local knowledge and community priorities into decisions about how climate finance is planned and budgeted. At CBA 12, practitioners will discuss the different components of these programmes, exploring the environment when they are most effective and why, and sharing experiences from several contexts. 

The pilots work by establishing mechanisms that funnel money for climate-resilient development through public financial management systems down to local governments. The approach depends on local communities collaborating with government to take the lead in planning and budgeting funds for adaptation. 

This collaborative approach presents an opportunity to transform the relationship between states and their citizens by empowering communities to make meaningful investment decisions for their own future. 

CBA12: Local experience driving climate action
