International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change (CBA17)

For the first time since 2019 CBA will be held in-person, with a focus on networking and reconnecting. It offers participants four days of discussion, debate, peer-to-peer ‘skill-shares’ and knowledge exchange.

The CBA conference series aims to bring together a community of practitioners who are collectively seeking to reimagine solutions that enable transformative outcomes, through the agency of communities driving climate action.

CBA is a space for the adaptation community of practitioners to come together to share how to put the principles for locally led adaptation (LLA) into practice, recognising the complexities, innovations and challenges that must be overcome.

The ARA is a contributing partner to CBA17 and there will be an opportunity at the Conference to meet-and-greet the Head of the Secretariat, Jesse Demaria-Kinney, on Wednesday 10 May at 1pm (UTC+1).

Location: Bangkok, Thailand.

Unlocking LDC-led adaptation research uptake
