The webinar will focus on integrating local and Indigenous knowledge into climate adaptation efforts at local and national levels, sharing lessons from projects in Senegal, Uganda, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso. It will explore moving beyond consultation towards institutionalizing local knowledge within climate and development systems, addressing key questions on vulnerable groups' contribution to decision-making and inclusive coordination. The event will feature speakers from organizations involved in projects funded by the Step Change Initiative, emphasizing the importance of strengthening participation, influencing policy, and ensuring local knowledge informs planning and governance processes.
