Channel: IIED
Date: 2021-01-25

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.

Young people have proven to be capable of initiatives where their leadership has increased climate adaptation outputs. More opportunities need to be created to improve the financing of youth action in adaptation. 

This could take the form of national or regional climate change funds for youth, increased government support, or more cooperation with international organisations. 

What are the current financial schemes and how can these opportunities reach young people who are leading adaptation projects locally? What could be the best way for countries, municipalities and cities to mobilise funds internally to support locally-led action?
