CBA17 key messages

The 17th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation to Climate Change (CBA17) took place from 22-25 May 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand.

CBA17 brought together more than 250 practitioners, community representatives, local and national government planners, policymakers and donors from over 60 countries to discuss, debate and devise practical ways for driving forward locally led adaptation (LLA) to climate change. This first in-person CBA in four years created a dynamic and interactive space with diverse sessions geared towards learning, connecting, networking and collaborating.

The emerging key messages, presented here, represent the latest thinking by practitioners on LLA.
