4th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation (21 - 27 february)

Comunidad de Madrid,

Organised by the International Institute for Environment and Development, the Fourth International Conference on community-based adaptation (CBA) to climate change is designed to share and consolidate the latest developments in CBA planning and practice in different sectors and countries in Africa. According to the organisers, CBA recognises that communities already possess much of the knowledge and skills required to cope with the expected impacts of climate change. Communities can often increase their resilience to climate stresses by building on their knowledge and skills. This is important in Africa, which is known to be particularly vulnerable to climate change. The organisers believe that sharing experience and knowledge from pilot activities amongst practitioners, policymakers, researchers, funders, and communities at risk is essential. With this in mind, the Fourth International Conference on CBA hopes to build on the strengths of the second and third International Conferences on CBA held in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2007 and 2009.

The conference will consist of a two-day field visit to CBA projects in different parts of Tanzania, followed by three days of interactive discussions. These will be divided into thematic areas which may include: understanding adaptation planning and practice from local to global levels, CBA practices in different sectors and ecosystems, and education and building awareness for mainstreaming CBA.
