Using “adaptation technologies” to improve policy and planning at national level

  

Using “adaptation technologies” to improve policy and planning at national level

Wednesday, Dec 02, UTC 11:00 to 12:55

Organizer: Practical Action / IIED

There is no dispute that developing countries need to adapt to climate change but there is a huge gap in implementation. Policy makers need practical ways of enabling and promoting adaptation. Community based adaptation and their innovation and use of knowledge and resources can be a way to achieve adaptation at scale. This session will look at how community-based innovation and implementation of ‘adaptation technologies’ could improve the impact of national policy and planning. The discussion will include how the ‘business case’ is built for government to invest in certain adaptation technologies and/or create the enabling environment for uptake of other adaptation technologies – e.g. smart subsidies, PPPs and incentives. It will also explore the fact that uptake requires technologies to be viable, so evidence and examples of relevant ‘business models’ are also needed.
