COP22: Klimaatconferentie Marrakech
From 7 to 18 november, the Climate Change COP22 will take place in Marrakech, Morrocco. This '22nd Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)' as it is called officially, is the annual meeting of the 195 countries which have signed and ratified the convention.
This Conference of Parties, taking place a year after the big climate summit in Paris last year, will focus primarily on the implementation of the Paris agreement which entered into force on November 4 this year.
Also on the agenda are issues like climate finance (the 100 billion dollar roadmap) the 2018 review of commitments for mitigation (lowering the emission of greenhouse gasses) and transparency.
Sabina Voogd of Both ENDS will be joining the CoP to actively follow the negotiations on climate finance, adaptation, gender and trade. She will participate in the demonstration which will take place on the 12th of november and during her stay in Marrakech she will write at least two blogs to keep us posted on what is happening. Also, together with Action Aid and IPACC Both ENDS organises a side event:
Nathalie van Haren of Both ENDS will also be present for a few days, especially to meet up with our Drynet partners. Together, they wrote a Consultation on the environmental and social standards of the Land Degradation Neutrality Fund. On the morning 11th of November, Drynet organises a side-event called 'Where to Agriculture in the UNFCCC' (see also invitation at the bottom).

Lokale toegang tot klimaatfinanciering (Jaarverslag 2018)
Het grootste deel van klimaatfinanciering gaat naar grote instituten en grootschalige projecten, zonder dat rekening wordt gehouden met de wensen en behoeften van lokale gemeenschappen. Both ENDS probeert dit samen met diverse partners te veranderen. Daarbij richten we ons vooral op het Green Climate Fund (GCF).

Adaptation Futures - Session on Small grants, big impacts
The Green Climate Fund aims to support transformational pathways to climate-resilient development, intends to reach those most vulnerable, and commits to a gender-sensitive approach. This session presents an important way of putting these commitments into practice: by engaging small grants funds. These funds can provide the much needed channel between large international institutions and local communities adapting to climate change, and assure financing reaches women and men to contribute to transformative climate action. But how to make this shift in how financing is delivered? The audience will be actively engaged in the discussion to come to concrete suggestions to strengthen local access and gender responsiveness of climate finance.

The merits of community-based restoration
Globally, the area that is suffering desertification and land degradation is ever expanding. Unsustainable and often large-scale agricultural practices, including the copious use of pesticides and fertilizers, are a major driver of land degradation, aprocess that is further exacerbated by climate change, causing more erratic rainfall patterns, longer periods of drought and unpredictable growing seasons. This is very problematic not only for the hundreds of millions of people who directly depend on land and water for their livelihoods, but also for life on earth as a whole. It is clear that this process must be stopped and reversed, better sooner than later. But how to go about it?
