About
Since 2005, IIED and partners have convened the community-based adaptation (CBA) conference series. These conferences serve as a global forum for practitioners, governments and donors to share best practices and innovations in climate adaptation at the community level.
The CBA conferences are a key moment annually for learning and engagement on locally-led approaches to climate adaptation (LLA), which focus on supporting communities to use their own knowledge and decision-making processes to take action on climate change.
IIED, in partnership with the state government of Pernambuco, the Institute for Climate and Society (iCS) and other partners, will hold the CBA conference in Latin America for the first time. The conference will be a key moment for the CBA and LLA communities on the road to the 2025 climate change conference (COP30), also in Brazil in November.
The event will see around 300 participants from local community organisations, Indigenous Peoples’ organisations, NGOs, research institutes, governments, foundations and multilateral agencies come together over five days to share, learn and evolve understanding of best practice on locally led adaptation.
The overarching conference question is how can we achieve just and equitable adaptation?
