Despite Community-based Adaptation (CBA) and locally led adaptation (LLA) gaining recognition in countries’ adaptation plans, and their proven effectiveness, there remain barriers to its implementation at scale. This interactive session will build on real-world examples of how CBA and LLA have been integrated into institutional arrangements and supported significant and systemic changes for the most vulnerable groups. The session will allow participants to gain a better understanding of the innovative institutional arrangements needed to scale the implementation of CBA and LLA to support NAP implementation through engagement with experts, group discussions and case studies.
