Nature & People at the Heart of Policy and Practice for Climate Resilience

How can we ensure that adaptation solutions maximise benefits for people, biodiversity and climate? How can we turn the locally led adaptation principles into practice?

In this session, we will share lessons and good practices from communities at the forefront of nature-based climate action, and reflect on how these findings can inform adaptation planning and policy. Local actors will present evidence why locally led and ecosystem-based approaches are key to effective, sustainable and just climate adaptation action. They will also share lessons learnt, guidance and tools on how to deliver on the LLA principles in different sectors. We also highlight that cross-sector partnerships – enabling a whole-of-society-approach – and enhancing access to climate finance for local actors are both vital to accelerate the implementation of climate resilience measures.
