The Sun is Falling”: Evidence of how Local Practices are Mitigating and Adapting to Climate Change, and what more can be done – Lessons Learnt from Community Voices through the ‘Local Leadership for Global Impact’ project

By: GNDR - Global Network of Civil Society Organisations for Disaster Reduction | March 2024 | Reports and Policy Briefs

 

 

To understand how knowledge and practice from communities at the frontline of the climate crisis can be used to plan for complex disasters, we organised 10 knowledge exchange visits between local civil society organisations and academic researchers. The visits saw local civil society organisations (CSOs) and expert facilitators meet with communities actively managing the impact of climate change, to consolidate knowledge on how they understand climate change in their contexts, and how they are coping with its effects.

Across the 10 countries, we used collaborative approaches to better understand how this knowledge and practice can inform planning for complex disasters worldwide. The outcome is a research paper that shares global findings, conclusions and recommendations.
