Localization of NDCs through community-led ‘adaptation innovation’ in the Asia-Pacific region: Needs and Pathways

31 March 2022, 10:00-11:30 (Bangladesh Standard Time); UTC+6

The session is a continuation of the GGC1 session “Capacity Building for Promoting “Local Adaptation Innovation” through regional collaboration on 22nd January 2021. The session aims to discuss regional capacity building initiatives on localizing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) through community (locally)-led adaptation innovation. This initiative is jointly led by IGES and APN in collaboration with several regional partners as part of the capacity building pillar of the Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Information Platform (AP-PLAT), which is an initiative of the Japanese Government to support adaptation action in the Asia-Pacific region. In this session, the breakout groups and the ensuing panel discussion will bring fresh insights to capacity building that will be jointly implemented to support the mainstreaming of local adaptation innovation into NDC implementation. The session will highlight cases and examples that will form a basis for designing a robust capacity building programme for scaling up locally adaptation through channels like AP-PLAT and in line with the goals of the UNFCCC Paris Agreement.
