Considerable experience has been gained by governments of China, India and Peru in implementing climate change adaptation programmes.
Policy makers and scientists discussed how to align climate funding mechanisms with existing systems of decentralization in a country. The speakers shared their experiences on the enabling conditions that are necessary at the sub-national levels, from three diverse contexts. A recent research by DIE provides insights on the potential and limitations of using social protection systems for channeling international climate finance to vulnerable communities for fostering socio-economic inclusion.
