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.

Multilateral organisations to date have struggled to finance local adaptation at scale and often the money is not getting into the hands of local actors. They have a key role to play in financing local climate action and building strong sub-national institutions. 

Yet, there are examples of more innovative approaches that are emerging, such as the Adaptation Fund’s MIE Aggregator that provides small innovation grants and the Asian Development Bank’s Community Resilience Partnership Programme (CRPP) which supports countries and communities in Asia and the Pacific scale up investments in local resilience towards transformational changes. 

This session built participants’ knowledge around how multilateral organisations are designing and implementing investments for local communities.
