IIED's video: Make Change Happen 19: A spur to action getting money to the local level for nature and climate

At COP26, political leaders called for more action to address biodiversity loss and climate change together. In this episode of Make Change Happen, we discuss how this must be financed and the possible mechanisms for spurring actions on the ground. Hosted for the first time by James Persad, IIED’s new director of communications, this episode features Mandy Barnett from the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), Moses Egaru of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Yiching Song from the Farmers’ Seed Network China and Xiaoting Hou Jones, senior researcher at IIED's Natural Resources research group. Together they discuss the mechanisms that need to be in place to get money to the right levels, particularly the local level where communities and institutions who have the knowledge and the power to make changes happen to address the pressing challenges of climate change and nature loss.   You can follow some of the people you have heard in this episode on Twitter at @JamesNPersad.
