    How devolved climate finance can deliver climate resilience at local level

    IIED and partners are highlighting the potential of devolved climate finance to deliver climate funding that is equitable and responsive to the needs of local people.  The organisations say that local climate adaptation planning offers significant benefits, particularly for people in poor and marginalised areas, and have released an animation that explains how decentralised climate funds operate, and the benefits they offer, that will be screened at a side event on devolved climate finance at COP22

    Drylands: volatile, vibrant and under-valued?

    IIED is working with partners to reassess the value of dryland resources. Understanding the productivity of drylands can be complex. It requires prediction and tracking of effects on the variable dryland climate and hydrological systems, as well as the formal and informal economies and value chains that they feed. Through this work, we hope to reveal more of the total economic contributions from dryland ecosystems to local and national economies under conditions of variable rainfall and accelerating climate change.
