How to take part

 

The conference is open to anyone interested in community-based adaptation: particularly policymakers, non-governmental organisations, research and policy institutes, academics and practitioners with a particular focus on grassroots adaptation work.

 

Participants are encouraged to bring and present posters on the financing aspects of CBA project activities. Attendance is limited to 250 participants, all of whom must complete an online application form. Please note that most programme sessions are full, so anyone new registering to attend who wishes to share their work will likely be invited to bring a poster as this is the only session in the programme where some space remains.

Once registration has been completed, participants who have already secured funding will be asked to complete this payment form.
 
Unfortunately, applications are no longer being accepted from participants who require funding, but these are encouraged to sign up as Virtual Internet Participants
