| ๐ŸŒฑ ยฟCรณmo pasar de una acciรณn climรกtica liderada desde los territorios a un cambio transformador?

๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ง La adaptaciรณn liderada localmente ( , por sus siglas en inglรฉs) es cada vez mรกs reconocida como fundamental para lograr una acciรณn climรกtica efectiva y equitativa.

Pero ยฟpuede tambiรฉn impulsar los cambios profundos que se necesitan para abordar las causas de fondo de la vulnerabilidad y la desigualdad?

Climate and Development Knowledge Network, a travรฉs de su socio en , Fundaciรณn Futuro Latinoamericano (FFLA), estรก explorando si la puede generar transformaciones en este sentido:

โœ… ยฟLas iniciativas actuales estรกn cambiando quiรฉnes participan y quiรฉnes simplemente validan las decisiones?
โœ… ยฟQuiรฉn controla los recursos y bajo quรฉ reglas?
โœ… ยฟQuรฉ conocimientos son tomados en cuenta?
โœ… ยฟQuiรฉn define el ritmo del trabajo?
โœ… ยฟCรณmo influye el contexto sociopolรญtico en las relaciones que pueden construirse a nivel local?

๐ŸŒ Durante el webinar se explorarรก cรณmo las iniciativas de adaptaciรณn liderada localmente en Amรฉrica Latina, รfrica y Asia estรกn generando cambios en las formas de pensar y actuar, asรญ como en las estructuras, y cรณmo estos cambios estรกn trasladando el poder y la toma de decisiones hacia el รกmbito local.

As countries advance implementation of the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) and the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), measuring progress needs to go beyond hectares restored or infrastructure built. is also about people, ecosystems, rights, agency, governance and resilience.

On 3 November, CDKN will explore how global adaptation metrics can better connect with local realities and learning. In this webinar, leaders, GGA negotiators, practitioners and MEL experts from across the globe will share insights on how local knowledge, learning, gender, community leadership and inclusive governance can bridge global frameworks and implementation experience to strengthen our understanding of adaptation success.

In addition, this webinar brings together two complementary pieces of work:

Across , communities have long responded to climate change through local knowledge, collective action and Indigenous practices. Yet their experiences and lessons are still too often under-recognised in adaptation policy, planning and finance.

Drawing on the experiences of more than nine African partners, CDKN's new synthesis, Locally led adaptation in African communities: Insights from practice, explores what equitable locally led adaptation (LLA) looks like in practice across diverse contexts.

In this webinar, we will launch the synthesis and bring together practitioners, community voices, policymakers and funders to explore what it takes to move beyond participation towards genuine local leadership: how social equity can be strengthened within adaptation processes, how communities and local intermediaries can shape decisions, and how locally grounded evidence can inform policy, finance and climate decision-making.

๐ŸŒ Join us for a critical conversation on putting equitable local leadership into practice across Africa! ๐ŸŒ

Locally led adaptation (LLA) is increasingly recognised as essential for effective and equitable climate action. But can it also drive the deeper transformations needed to address the root causes of vulnerability and inequality?

CDKN, through its Latin America partner, Fundaciรณn Futuro Latinoamericano (FFLA), are exploring whether LLA can be transformative in this deeper sense: whether current activities are shifting who participates or who merely validates, who controls resources and under what rules, whose knowledge counts, who sets the pace of the work, and how the socio-political context shapes what relationships are possible at the local scale.

In this webinar, we will explore how LLA initiatives across Latin America, Africa and Asia are shifting views, practices and structures in ways that shifts power and decision making to the local level.

This is the 2nd of 2 webinars this month to unpack the role of knowledge brokering in enabling and scaling across different levels

In collaboration with the United Nations System Staff College - UNSSC, the 2nd webinar will showcase examples of our work at the sub-national, national and global levels to demonstrate approaches for institutionalising gender and considerations within policy and governance frameworks.

Speakers include:
โžก๏ธ Sandhya Balasubrahmanyam (UNSSC)
โžก๏ธ Ashanapuri Hertz (SwedBio)
โžก๏ธ Hanna Abebe Demissie (Ministry of Planning and Development - Ethiopia)
โžก๏ธ Medhin Fissha mekonnen (UNICEF Ethiopia)
โžก๏ธ Sion Shifa (Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Namibia)
โžก๏ธ Shivute Nangula (Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Namibia)

Drawing on the experiences and insights shared by these panellists, this month's webinars will reflect on key enablers of successful climate action and identify knowledge brokering approaches and strategies that can help inspire and support similar efforts in other contexts.

CDKNโ€™s new inside story, written by Kaleb Asnake Worku and Patricia Aruho Bamanyaki and based on the work of Agri Service Ethiopia Goncha Program Office explores how Village Economic and Social Associations (VESAs) are helping pastoralist communities build resilience while advancing gender equity and social inclusion.

VESAs combine savings and lending with livelihood support, leadership development, climate information and community dialogue. The evidence suggests that when designed as broader social platforms rather than finance groups alone, VESAs can strengthen adaptive capacity while creating opportunities for women to participate more fully in household and community decision-making.
