Facilitation of a Climate Change Adaptation Network |
|
Indigo and EMG jointly facilitated a workshop to facilitate a reflection process on a possible Adaptation Network for South Africa. Taking into account that this is becoming a pressing national issue and that synergies and a more coherent approach are urgently needed, a range of stakeholders met in Johannesburg 18 June 2009 to discuss the possibilities. The decision was taken to establish the South African Adaptation Network, and Project 90x2030 offered to host the secretariat. A task team was established to support the secretariat in the next steps of formalizing the network. . Contact: bettina@indigo-dc.org |
