AGENDA

How do we turn the tide? The session will generate a discussion on key levers with the highest potential to bridge the gap between global commitments and national/local practices, to empower the collective agency of women and marginalized groups to be change agents, policy influencers and custodians of natural resources and to confront current inequities in climate finance, governance structures a. [...] The session will discuss how these tools and approaches can meaningfully engage stakeholders, what outcomes they contribute to achieve; how new digital technologies is changing the way information is produced, communicated and disseminated; and the implications for practitioners and knowledge brokers working in the climate space. [...] It will highlight the importance of full and effective participation of persons with disabilities in co-creating knowledge and inclusive interventions for locally-led adaptation, and will foster genuine peer learning with participants, identifying recommendations to advance intersectionality and the decolonization of climate action and knowledge. [...] The main question we will co-creatively answer is: what framework honours the reality of frontline communities’ lived experiences of loss and damage, while also being useful to the new L&D Fund and other funders committed to addressing L&D? We will explore and edit existing conceptualizations generated from the first two sessions and create and stress test new ideas. [...] Participants will learn from lived experience and discuss "nature and people" from the viewpoint and best practices of Indigenous Peoples and listen to their recommendations, voices and aspirations.
