Including Local Voices in Decision Making to Ensure Just Climate Action

REGISTER HERE FOR ONLINE PARTICIPATION

 

The Government of the Netherlands and the Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) Alliance cordially invite you to a lively exchange on inclusive participation of local communities in decision-making processes and local climate solutions that deliver real benefits to people and nature. The event brings together voices, perspectives and experiences from local communities, government and civil society from across the globe.

The climate crisis severely threatens vulnerable communities and exacerbates existing inequalities. These communities have taken countless inventive steps to slow it down and address its impacts. Yet, their initiatives are overlooked in decision making and financing. This needs to change. The global decision-making process needs to shift to more inclusivity and leverage on the voices of communities in the global South for locally shaped climate solutions for inclusive and just transition.

This session provides space for local voices and policymakers to reflect and discuss successes and challenges in strengthening local and inclusive climate governance and solutions.
