Date: 2020-12-15

This is a recording of a session from the 14th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change (CBA14), which took place online from 21-25 September 2020.

Grassroots movement building and leadership in community-based adaptations have played a significant role in shaping policy debates on climate change adaptation. Despite this, barriers remain in the decentralisation of power and decision making, the flow of financial resources, and policy support towards community-based adaptation efforts. 

This session brought together grassroots leaders and policymakers, calling attention to the influence of social movements on global policies, highlighting the current policy trends, shifts in local and national budgets, accomplishments and roadblocks experienced in attempting to bring more policy incentives and financial resources to urban and rural grassroots communities.
