The event seeks to ensure that the conversation around the need for social adaptation including the behaviour change, anticipatory actions and agency on the behalf of vulnerable groups is not lost in the broader discussions that tend to happen around climate finance. Although, some efforts touch on social adaptation and the financing necessary for it, usually it is only a few that do so. Therefore, what we aim to do is to bring this issue to the forefront as a driver of adaptation financing. Typically, when we justify the need for adaptation, we speak about the people but when designing proposals, a people-centric approach is often not taken.
By exploring partners’ perspective and work in the nexus of climate finance and social adaptation, we will then be able to have a deeper discussion on what is and should be the role of climate finance in the region in the context of social adaptation, how do we make sure we are both gender responsive and socially inclusive, and how do we make sure we address gender from a binary perspective but also an intersectional perspective.
