7th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation (CBA7)
Over 250 participants attended IIED's 7th community-based adaptation to climate change conference (CBA7) in Dhaka, Bangladesh in April 2013, with many more taking part virtually through a live blog which featured live web streamed video, comments and social media.
