Climate Change Roundtable

We had a productive meeting last week to present findings from our Young Women Led Climate Resilience & Adaption Research and to discuss coordinating efforts on this critical issue moving forward. Important ideas were shared including reviewing our internal resources and identifying specialties for each organization, sharing research, building capacity in the ABG for sustainability and less reliance on external donors, avoiding duplication of efforts, and how to build on existing processes.

Thank you to all our partners for attending, including Bougainville Partnerships (BP), Depart for Foreign Affairs (DFAT- AusAid), Department of Community Development (DCD), Department for Primary Industries (DPI), Bougainville Disability People Organization (BDPO), Bougainville Youth Federation (BYF), Plan International, Nazareth Center for Rehabilitation (NCFR), and representatives from the Community Government. A special thank you to the International Foundation for Election Systems (IFES) for providing the venue.
