COP26: Local action to global policies gateways and gaps

Those most vulnerable to climate change are the least heard in global policy debates. The LLA principles are designed to address this gap between local actions and priorities and global policies. Different stakeholders – policy institutions, donors, researchers and civil society – have developed innovations and partnerships to bridge these gaps. Where stakeholder groups have made solid gains, what can we learn from them? What are the challenges faced in scaling up and sustaining gains? What messages do we need to send to governments meeting at COP 26 to ensure that local actions and global policies are better aligned with one another.
