1. From principles to practice: commitments from donor organisations
Channel: IIED
Date: 2021-05-13

At the start of 2021, 40 governments and leading organisations endorsed eight principles for locally led adaptation. As the number of endorsers grows, IIED has launched an innovative podcast mini-series to explore what this commitment will mean in practice.

In the first episode of a three-part series, ‘From principles to practice: commitments from donor organisations’, IIED’s Aditya Bahadur is joined by representatives of three donor organisations that endorsed the principles. They set out what they intend to do differently to put them into practice.

The three guests and Bahadur interview each other and present their commitments and plans for the future. These pledges are assessed by a leading practitioner representing grassroots voices.

Are they putting local communities in the driver’s seat of adaptation decision-making? Are the proposed actions going to enable people battling climate impacts to lead processes of adaptation?
