8th International Conference on Community Based Adaptation to Climate Change, 26th to 30th April 2014
Preamble
We,
representatives of a range of public, civil society, private, local,
regional, international agencies, and governmental and non-governmental
organisations meeting in Kathmandu, Nepal at the 8th
International Conference on Community Based Adaptation (CBA) have come
together to put forward the Kathmandu Declaration on Financing Local
Adaptation to Climate Change.
We
are committed to effectively financing and implementing CBA at the
local level on the basis that climate change impacts are being felt
particularly
by the most vulnerable countries and communities who have contributed
least to the climate crisis. We recognize that the level of ambition to
mitigate emissions and finance adaptation and mitigation solutions to
climate change is vastly insufficient to prevent
dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system in a
time-frame sufficient to allow adaptation and to ensure sustainable
development.
