Driving Ambition for a Climate-Resilient Future
For 20 years, the Community Based Adaptation Conference (CBA) has provided a hub for climate adaptation and development practitioners to share their experiences and ideas for building a climate-resilient future. CBA is the only global adaptation conference that puts the lived experiences and knowledge of local people at the center—creating a space that enables people from the front lines of the climate crisis to shape decisions about the future of adaptation.
CBA is planned by an international coalition of organizations and coordinated by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). The conference uses a variety of innovative formats that bring participants into engaging and challenging dialogue to explore experiences and community-driven solutions.
Our grants for CBA support IIED to host the conference, strengthen the existing CBA community of practice, provide sponsorships to Global South and grassroots practitioners to attend the conference, and shape wider global discourse around locally led adaptation by elevating messages from CBA into other global spaces.
