IIED's video: CBA14 day 2 A4: COVID-19 and grassroot responses from the frontline

This is a recording of a session from the 14th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change (CBA14), which took place online from 21-25 September 2020. This dialogue-style session provided an interactive platform for grassroot speakers/leaders to exchange lived experiences of responding to an immediate crisis such as COVID-19 given existing capabilities, resources and knowledge. It created a learning opportunity to identify the patterns of community actions, navigate the challenges faced and determine ways of scaling up such locally-led responses to build a future that is more resilient to shocks and uncertainty. Through capturing their response and drawing lessons from their practices, grassroots organisations and social networks can enhance community resilience in the face of future disruptions, disasters and emergencies such as those driven by climate change.
