Join us for an exciting webinar 23rd of October, 2023 from 9h00-10h30 am CET.
The Charter for Change Climate and Environment working group is inviting you to join an exciting webinar on locally led action on loss and damage – good practice and funding modalities that support local leadership. It’s hosted by fellow signatories to the Charter for Change on the platform of START network.
Good practice on locally led responses
Climate change is wreaking havoc among the most vulnerable communities. Local and national actors are often the first to respond to humanitarian disasters and support communities in the long haul in building back better. How do we make sure that global finance to address loss and damage is geared to reach local and national actors – and what types of financial modalities support local leadership?
This webinar aims to facilitate learning and exchange among the members of the C4C network on experiences and good practice on locally led responses to loss and damage and (humanitarian and climate) financial modalities that support local leadership.
The program includes
- Professor Saleemul Huq, International Centre for Climate Change and Development starts with an introduction to theinternational debate on loss and damageand the financial modalities that are needed to support local leadership and action on loss and damage
