• Overview

COVID-19 has made this year like no other. CBA14 in 2020 will be very much the same and yet fundamentally different: we’re going fully digital.

The 2020 international conference on Community-based Adaptation to Climate Change (CBA14) will take place online from 21-24 September 2020, and during the weeks leading up to this event, our online CBA conference platform will create fantastic opportunities to meet and network with other practitioners, catch up on the latest ideas and hear about activities on the ground that are working to put people at the centre of adaptation.

Over four days in September there’ll be opportunities to build your capacity and skills, learn from others’ tools and approaches and present your own,  and join workshops and dialogues unpacking and delving into key issues. Perfect your project pitch in the Dragon’s Den or suggest a topic for an open space roundtable. We’re planning plenty of sessions and are looking to you, our diverse community of practice, to suggest the conversations and working solutions you would like to lead and share.

CBA14 is the only conference that focuses on community-based adaptation, putting the people most vulnerable to climate change at the centre of the conversation.

We’re calling on practitioners, community representatives, local and national government planners, policymakers and donors to come together. People committed to making change happen, ready to translate talk into action to achieve a climate-resilient future.
