Las cajas de herramientas para la lucha contra el cambio climático
Ya se pueden bajar las cajas de herramientas para la lucha contra el cambio climático. Las cajas de herramientas se basan en la experiencia práctica a nivel de sensibilización, adquirida por las organizaciones de la sociedad civil vinculadas con el programa de las Voces del Sur.
Los Principios Conjuntos sobre Adaptación (JPA)
Tras la reunión en Nepal a finales de abril, las Voces del Sur sobre proyecto Adaptación lanzó el primer borrador de los Principios conjunta sobre la adaptación. Los JPA se pueden utilizar para ayudar a guiar a las OSC defensor de políticas nacionales de adaptación, introduzca un diálogo con el gobierno, o para mejorar sus esfuerzos de creación de capacidad.
COP23, hosted by Fiji at the UNFCCC Secretariat in Bonn, saw the involvement of Southern Voices partners from across the Global South.
With arrivals from Nepal; Malawi; Vietnam; Nicaragua; Sri Lanka and regional facilitators from across Africa, Asia and Latin America, lessons on promoting pro-poor adaptation and progress at the COP negotiations were high on the agenda.

The right brief at the right time
As the commitments on the Paris Agreement have taken hold, SVA’s adaptation communication policy brief (seen left being handed to Nicaragua's negotiator by ANACC's Bernis Cunningham) complemented the international community's discussions on how to report progress in preparation for the global stock-take.
Specifically, it calls for information on multi-stakeholder engagement, pro-poor adaptation, policy examples and assessment of the 'adaptation gap' to be included. Additional recommendations include linkages to the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) outlined in the Paris Agreement, alongside reporting both past and future activities.
Learning from Southern Voices
This COP represented an opportunity to think over lessons learned from the Joint Principles of Adaptation in advocacy for pro-poor and inclusive adaptation. SV-Adapt’s workshop allowed partners to take stock of Milestones towards Pro-poor Adaptation.
Achievements were also noted at the international level, with the JPA receiving plaudits from the UNFCCC. Nonetheless, this was also a chance to look towards the future, with SV-Adapt inviting new southern partners to take part.

SVA partners shared their experiences with colleagues and organisations across the COP. At the high-profile side event, Climate and Development Days, CISONECC’s Maggie Ngwira (see below) featured as the only civil society panel participant in a session on vertical integration in NAPs (National Adaptation Plans).
Organised by the NAP Global Programme, Maggie contributed her knowledge on the involvement of local level actors and women in Malawi's NAP . (Find the NAP Global Network's event summary here)
This experience exchange also took place with Nepalese partner Cen at a side event in collaboration with Action Aid, World Council of Churches and CANSA (Climate Action Network South Asia).
Following CEN’s extensive consultations and planning with Nepal’s NAP, Rajan Thapa brought forward his expertise regarding CSO knowledge of climate-induced migration and non-economic loss and damage (find CEN's presentation here).
