International Development Research Center (IDRC)

This event will feature the latest research and insights from two of Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) funded collaborative local action research projects. The event seeks to shift the understanding of L&D policy actors and other stakeholders towards a more country-driven, locally led, context specific, and inclusive delivery of L&D financing. The event aims to stimulate evidence-informed and critical discussions on how L&D financing can be more effective and inclusive; create a platform for members and advocates of vulnerable countries to articulate their concerns and voice on L&D; inform COP29 delegates to advance L&D related negotiations with greater sense of urgency, conceptual clarity, and justice; and promote specific policy research and capacity building agenda from the point of view of just climate financing focusing on L&D and resilience building.
