 Hi, I'm Chris Henderson from Practical Action in UK and I'm leading the Innovation for Adaptation theme together with Susan Nandu-Du from the African Centre for Trade and Development in Uganda. Over the years, there has been a lot of examples, good examples for community-based adaptation. So we know what needs to be done and what can be done. What we need more of is innovation to stimulate action in a sustained way. When we talk about innovation, most people think about technologies. In this context, we want to think bigger than that. We want innovation that will give a voice to communities and the knowledge they have, improve trust in local and indigenous knowledge, address the power imbalances and allow new partnerships. To unpack this, we've organised four exciting sessions at CVA to explore firstly how to make better use of ancestral and indigenous knowledge. Another session on how data collected and used by citizens in rapidly changing urban context can enable adaptation, drive adaptation. Third session on the sustainability of adaptation actions and how that can be improved through working with the private sector and developing enterprises. And finally, we are tackling the question of using new technologies and data such as climate information services and early warning services to improve anticipatory action and the livelihoods of the vulnerable. The outcome of the Innovation for Adaptation theme should be ideas on how we can innovate or use innovation to promote more support and investment in community-based adaptation or, perhaps more strategically, build partnerships that will prioritise and sustain community-led innovation. This is going to be a really exciting conference. It's coming at an important time. We hope you will join our sessions and contribute examples from where you are. We look forward to seeing you there. Thank you.
