Side events
Building skills for brokering knowledge and facilitating collaboration and change
Date: Tuesday 29 March 2022
Time: 08:30 - 10:00 UTC
Location: Virtual
Hosts: CDKN and Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre
Particular skills and tools can assist knowledge brokers to be more effective in their activities. Some of these are of a more technical nature, such as to synthesise information or communicating it in user-friendly ways. Others relate to people’s skills and understanding of how to navigate political and cultural landscapes.
Learn more about why there is a great need and appetite to strengthen this diversity of skills, to result in more evidence-based decision making and stronger understanding and partnerships between stakeholders to facilitate positive change.

'Voices from the Frontlines': An agenda of community resilience at COP27
Date: Wednesday 30 March 2022
Time: 12:30 - 14:30 UTC
Location: Virtual
Hosts: ICCCAD, CDKN and Krisoker Sor
Between June 2020 and the end of 2021, ICCCAD and CDKN collaborated to capture and publish grassroots stories on localised coping mechanisms to the Covid-19 crisis. These Voices from the Frontline (VFL) stories share important lessons of resilience-building against climate change.
Find out more at this session about how these examples of locally-led adaptation can influence the COP27 preparatory processes, especially influencing the Glasgow-Sharm el-Sheik Work Programme and Santiago Network on Loss and Damage.

Gender equality and social inclusion – Essential ingredients for climate-compatible development
Date: Thursday 31 March 2022
Time: 13:30 - 15:00 UTC
Location: Virtual
Hosts: CDKN
There is increasing evidence that climate change projects fail to work well if they are ‘gender blind’, and projects are far more successful and sustainable in achieving both climate change and sustainable development goals when they include gender equality in planning and implementation. The same goes for the inclusion of young people, people living with disabilities, and other groups that have traditionally been disadvantaged in decision-making.
Join this session to find out how to practically integrate gender and social inclusion into climate projects.
