International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED)
IIED builds a fairer, more sustainable world, using evidence, action and influence in partnership with others
At this online event on Monday 9 September we will announce the Saleemul Huq Memorial Scholarship recipients and launch the Comprehensive Climate Impact Quantification (C-CIQ) toolkit.?There is an urgent need to address the impacts of climate change, focusing particularly on the loss and damage faced by communities vulnerable to climate change.
The Saleemul Huq Memorial Scholarship, established under the ALL ACT (Alliance for Locally Led Transformative Action on Loss and Damage) initiative, aims to support local experts and organisations to capture the diverse ways climate change is affecting communities.?The 25 scholarship finalists, representing?Asia, Africa, the Pacific, the Caribbean and Latin America, will focus on developing practical, locally-driven solutions to climate challenges.
The C-CIQ toolkit combines participatory methodologies and economic valuation techniques, making it accessible to local organisations that have traditionally been excluded from complex climate assessment processes. We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event! Register to attend .
