What counts: the state of evidence of outcomes of locally led adaptation

What is the state of evidence that locally led adaptation (LLA) works?

How can international climate finance support local people to lead their own efforts to adapt to climate change?

Why do funders, governments, and local actors struggle to work together to make local ownership and devolved decision-making a reality?

Join us on 30th of September for the launch of our new report which answers these and other questions surrounding LLA. The event will discuss findings regarding the current state of evidence, based on a global call for submissions from across the world. It will also reflect on the recommendations to bridge key divides that affect collaboration across scales.

The webinar will include:

• Keynote address by Professor Rachel Kyte, UK Special Representative for Climate and Professor of Practice in Climate Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford
• Presentation of the report’s key findings and recommendations by Janne Parviainen, SEI Oxford
• Panel discussion with:

– Ramona Calin, Locally Led Climate Action Specialist, Green Climate Fund
– Karen Stehouwer, Advisor, Reversing the Flow, Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO)
– Ainka Granderson, Resilience Programme Manager, Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI)

Moderated by Dr Somya Joshi, SEI Research Director
