 Welcome everyone to this IED webinar. My name is Sam Green from IED and I will be moderating today's program. So I just firstly want to extend a warm welcome to all of you dialing in. We have people registered from over 50 countries so good morning, good afternoon, or good evening to you wherever it is that you are. I'm going to give a quick overview of what you can expect from this session and introduce CBA 14 main themes which will then set up the cartoonathon and everything that's coming. So first after a quick overview of the themes we will go into a cartoonathon which will be used to explore those themes in more detail using humor and I'll hand over to Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre to talk more about that in a few moments. After the cartoonathon there'll be breakout groups which will be an opportunity to meet other participants and explore some of these issues in more detail. We'll then have three short presentations from grassroots perspectives on what we can learn from the response from COVID-19 that can inform climate action. There'll be a little bit of time for a Q&A and we'll finish with an overview on the road to CBA 14, what you can expect between now and then and some details on how to find out more about the program and how to register. So turning now just towards CBA 14 themes and these draw on our previous years of three main themes that broadly reflect the Paris Agreement's means of implementation and I'll talk through these in turn. The climate finance theme will look at how public and private sector finance can be accountably and transparently mobilized to scale up climate action while remaining inclusive and this year in particular we'll look at how we take small funds that are delivering climate finance and incubate them and grow them so that they can get to scale. We really want to explore how we can address the missing middle of climate finance, the gap between small innovative projects to large-scale programs that can benefit the most vulnerable at scale. The adaptation technology theme will explore how to bring about adaptation at national level and be integrated through policy and finance. The theme builds very much on the learning from CBA 12 and 13 and we'll look at how to leverage adaptation technology for greater investment and support whilst relying on the perspective of communities to understand how the adaptation technology should be used that can benefit them. The responsive policy theme looks at how policy can respond to the needs of the most vulnerable and this year we'll focus specifically on social movements. How can social movements inform policy that is ambitious enough to meet Paris Agreement targets and improve climate adaptation for communities? This year to reflect the changing environment that we're working with and to recognize that these issues are increasingly important we've added two new themes. The nature-based solutions theme will look at how nature-based solutions can be made to work for people, nature and climate, recognizing that we need to recognize biodiversity loss as a challenge that is equal to that of climate change and start looking at these together rather than its separate silos. The youth stream will be led entirely by youth organizations and young people and we'll explore how we can transform our institutions so that they can take advantage of young people's participation in delivering local level adaptation. It will specifically seek to understand how we can properly incorporate the views of young people so that they can have a greater more influential say in the policies that will shape their own future. So that gives a quick overview of the CBA 14 themes and I'm going to hand over now to Red Cross, Red Crescent's climate sensors Pablo Suarez and Margo Kerl who will take us into the cartoonathon where we'll explore some of these issues in more depth. Thank you Sam hello friends greetings from Boston my name is Pablo Suarez I work with the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center I'm in charge of research and innovation and I'm happy to report that CBA changed my life. When I was a student over a decade and a half ago I attended CBA one in Bangladesh it was a lot of effort for me at the time and guess what I became a fan of the need to connect knowledge with action for the most vulnerable and here we are trying like from day one in the context of CBA trying new things. In this session we are going to try something unconventional I am now pushing buttons I hope that you can see the introductory slide on harnessing humor to address climate risks. What we're going to do first is invite you to think what do you think of when you think of humor what words come to mind please go to the chat function on zoom and everyone type one word that you think of when you think of humor go and as you think of that what is it that you think of when you think of humor I can tell you the words that have most often come to mind all right some people are annotating there's fun these are the words that I often hear fun laughter comedy comics smile and joy smart is probably the only word in there that maybe seems to have a connection between what we do in community-based adaptation and humor now did anybody think of the word death it turns out when I was beginning to work with professional humorists including Bob Mankov who is best known for his work at the New Yorker magazine Bob looked at me in the eye and when I asked him what do you think of when thinking of humor he said death and let me share one cartoon that matters this is this is the way I see our current situation it may look like it's a normal day we're doing what you normally do sit read converse but things are changing and that change can be gradual until it is fast and abrupt and things can become turbulent and very problematic now the original caption of this cartoon said we've got to talk unfortunately in most events that involve climate change in general and community-based adaptation in particular we are still learning how to have conversations I have attended every single one UN climate conference since 2004 17 consecutive UNF triple C cops and this is what they look like thousands of people for two weeks sitting down and listening to boring talks with lack having insufficient q&a how much fun do you see in those events I anticipate that the absence of joy correlates with the absence of progress in community-based adaptation what can we do to make things richer to make things more engaging to make things more fun because fun is functional for what we need to accomplish check out this cartoon a traffic jam cars are not moving forever and the passenger says to the driver try honking again well guess what if you honk in a traffic jam you're not going to go anywhere nothing will change I like this cartoon because it speaks of the problem being in the system the problem will not be solved by honking the problem is closer to where we are the audience we have to change something we have to unclog we have to reimagine we have to widen the highway of our thinking and our action we keep honking messages gender is important we need to engage youth nature can be part of a solution more money is needed you've heard Sam talk about those five themes this time we're going to invite you to do something unconventional using humor cartoons that were made intentionally for this event so that we can explore how we cba community have been stuck in our message and what can we do to come up with new ways of thinking this is one example from one of our cartoonathons the last one we did face-to-face before coronavirus paralyzed interactions this is a madam deputy minister of finance of the government of Afghanistan looking at that same cartoon and annotating with other peers including from the word bank and they wrote let's create a project like the other one that we did last year which also failed you can see candor emerge in the context of humor and you are going to have that opportunity you will be able to have candid conversations about what matters to us all getting to near the end of my slides these are the words that professional cartoonists think of when they think of humor of course they also think of laughter and fun smiles but they look at the causes of humor tension conflict risk danger contradiction ambiguity what can go wrong context out of context you will see in the cartoons created for this event that our cartoon artists have explored the five themes with a new angle inviting us to notice those things that are under the hood those things that underlie the reasons why we don't have as much progress as we want I wish you successful explorations and conversations it will be new it will be intense these are the three artists that have supported our work Emily flake Pat Burns and Rebecca Rivola you will see their cartoons but also they will be working live creating new cartoons adapting them based on what comes from our conversation from your feedback so thanks again for the opportunity to join yet another CBA event and I will pass it over to my dear colleague Bettina Bettina over to you thank you so much Pablo and I also want to say Pablo I think CBA is also important because this is where we met many many years ago doing our first out of this out of the box session so it's really really nice to be here with all of you we would now like to invite you to view in a gallery as if you would walk into an art gallery walk with us into our virtual gallery and look at the suggestions of the cartoon artists that they have shared with you if you can open your internet browser right now and please if you have the choice open Google Chrome or another browser maybe not Safari and type in CE dot good focus net we can also put that in the chat CE dot good focus net and if you can then and if you can click next Pablo if you can then type in the following the event code is CBA 14 you can type in CBA 14 your email address that will only use to make sure that we know who is entering and that you have a unique identifier and the name that you'd like to be displayed and then click login and next Pablo while you're doing this you'll be able to see the cartoon drafts these are drafts cartoons or rough cartoons that have been suggested by the artists that actually engaged with this with the thematic with the with topics and here you can see at the bottom there is a blue there is a blue field here where you can add some comments please add some comments and Pablo if you can click next then press the button here the bottom that says submit and you'll get a confirmation that your comments has been submitted then you can add more comments if you would like or otherwise click next there are a number of cartoons there are quite a few so please scroll through all of them comment to the ones that you would like and skip the ones that you feel speak less to you so we can have a comment on all of them I think here we go enjoy the gallery experience you have only six minutes so enjoy this now and then you'll be able to see everyone's comments afterwards in the viewing alright we're ending the comment phase you can still view the cartoons we would now like you to submit your last comment and we will stop the solar gallery for now and you will then be able to see all the cartoons with all the comments you can scroll through it you might have to go either click next or refresh your browser to be able to see that what is going to happen now is that after we view the comments the cartoon artists who are also on this call are going to have a critical look at your comments your suggestions and will then be able to see if they can adjust one of their cartoons to reflect some of the comments that you have shared and at the end we'll have an opportunity for the cartoon artists to share their cartoons in an amended version reflecting your comments and suggestions back to you as an audience and I think with this I will hand over to Margot for the next step so our next thing is going to be the breakout groups and I really hope you enjoyed and the cartoons that you saw and when I saw them myself for the first time this morning I had a good chuckle and I found them very recognisable for my work and I hope you saw bits and pieces that you recognise and are relevant for your work as well and now we'll have for the next 10 minutes we'll have time to discuss this so the host is now going to create as many breakout rooms as Zoom is going to allow so David if you can try to set up all those breakout groups now that'd be fantastic and then we'll invite all of you to join a breakout room and the breakout groups will last for 10 minutes and in your breakout group and it'd be great if you can just do a quick round of names and countries where you're from and then have a discussion with the gallery open which cartoon that you find inspiring and why and how does this relate to the CBA themes and as a quick reminder what the CBA themes are these are the five climate finance adaptation technology responsive policy nature-based solutions and including youth and with that David I'd like to invite you to open the breakout groups and send people there for the next 10 minutes. Hi we see lots of people coming back now and even still some more people joining CBA this webinar welcome to everyone who's new to this webinar we've just finished a breakout session where we've been discussing a set of cartoons that have been created especially for this session if you want to see the cartoons oh sorry I've just sent that to David and I've just pasted a link in the chat box where you can see an overview of all the cartoons so you can go to the website ce.goodfocus.net and the event code is CBA 14 if you have Google Chrome and that works really well and then you can just enter your name and email address and you can see all the cartoons that have been talked about that have been created specifically for this year's CBA and now it'd be great to hear from one or two people and some elements of the discussion and we realize there's been some technical issues and we'll follow up on that later but for now it'd be really lovely if someone would like to share and something really inspiring exciting that you've been discussing in your groups and so I don't know if anyone would like to raise their hand and share something in plenary. I'm Margaret, I can do from our group if you don't mind. I'm Sapna Vasnet Bester from the UK originally from Nepal, I think the time wasn't enough for the discussion because however the time we were confused what we were supposed to be doing however two of the pictures we discussed and there were very interesting points. The first one was the one by Pat Barnes, is that how you say the surname? And it was the picture with an adult holding a placard to the youth and we were talking about how he was trying to teach youth how to do it so one of the colleagues Pat Barnes said that youth engagement is evident now at local level and global level which is very kind of encouraging and my reflection was that it may be very evident but however sometimes it's also very tokenistic at times and this is what the picture depicts almost undermining the capacity of the youth and their knowledge so that was one that we discussed and the other one was the one with Rebecca Ravola, is that how you say the surname? Yeah and it was about climate finance, the red picture of dollars flying up out of reach up in the sky and one of the participants said that even though it is somewhat circulated at a global level about how available the climate finance is it's so much out of reach for the countries with the diverse ecosystem and diverse forest and so on to get it and I agree with that because all of these international funding are so complicated to the application processes so complicated that people at local level who can make the difference can never reach that funding so I think that was two points that we discussed, thank you. Thank you very much that's a brilliant reflections and I think an extremely exciting start of the CBO process so there's some difficult messages there how can we stop youth engagement from being tokenistic and are there exciting discussions to be had at the upcoming CBA to see how we can really engage youth in a meaningful way and how can we make sure that the dollars aren't flying around but that that money actually reaches for people on the ground in line with community based adaptation that all of you are interested in so thank you very much for those reflections and I would like to invite one more reflection is there someone else who had an exciting discussion in your group would like to share something Ronald. Thank you so much for this exciting opportunity, group eight we were sharing about the cartoons so several members who are not able to be able to access the site but to me what I was looking at the cartoons they are what the impressions what the meaning of cartoons into our actualization of work we really shared about how people can really stand up without making tomorrow to be another tomorrow because a better tomorrow is made today how they can wake up not to stand still but to get moving to understand that climate is real climate change is real is reality and how we can engage all categories of people from the youth the women including the disabled because they are all human beings and they can contribute to the climate change in the one way or the other so it was really so impressive when we were discussing about it and in this case we so enjoyed though the time was little thank you. Thank you so much Ronald and I think that's given us plenty food for thought and definitely an exciting point there about inclusion not only of youth but also of the other stakeholder groups that you were talking about and I'm definitely looking forward to the next part here the Ignite talks hearing from different corners of the world and what is going on on the ground at the moment and just to let you know as well I don't know some of you have just logged in what we've done so far is we've reviewed new cartoons that have been created especially around the five cba themes and there have been group discussions about it and and there's actually some cartoonist three cartoonists at the moment and updating one of their cartoons each and and they'll share them with us at the end of this session so do stay tuned for these updated cartoons and thank you all very much for participating and with that I'm happy to hand this back over to Sam for the next bit. Thank you very much so we're going to move now whilst those cartoonists work on the cartoons to the next stage of this session we're going to invite three speakers from with in-depth community speak community perspectives to talk about their experiences and what we can learn from COVID-19 and the response that can inform climate action so that we can build back better in the future. So we have Musunda Kappena from the Zambia National Forest Commodity Association, Gauravali Dhanj from the Saki Women's Federation in Maharashtra, India and Dr. Lea Katali from Brack Bangladesh. So I'm going to go straight over to Musunda Kappena now to give her perspective from Zambia so over to you Musunda. Greetings everybody my name is Musunda Kappena and I'm representing the Zambia National Forest Commodity Association we're based in Lusaka, Zambia. We work with a lot of forest and farm facility producer groups and I'm here to make a very short presentation on how we are coping with COVID-19 looking at nature's solution. So a brief synopsis on the African continent. Africa is the home of 25 percent of the world's remaining rainforests but they are quickly disappearing and on top of that we have as a continent 70 percent of the population depend on forests. Their sustenance is forest and woodland based. It has been from time immemorial. We've suffered quite a lot of climate change and it's already impacting on Africa's forests on our biodiversity and also it's affecting people's livelihoods. Looking at the land use change and the amount of and the increase in the population that is there and all this is contributing to the greenhouse emissions. So as an association we are cognizant of the fact that there's urgent need to manage the natural resources better and especially in this advent of COVID and other diseases. How do we then go back to the forest to find solutions that would then mitigate not only the effects of COVID-19 but also the effects of climate change which have been brought about looking at how much forest cover we have lost. So as a country what we have done through the association we are working with is that we are supporting forest groups. Forest groups are those communities which live within forests and survive mainly on the resources that are from the forest and most of these produce are like the forest herbs. Forest herbs for a long time have been used indigenously as medicines and as a food supplement and also we have had a lot of practices around the ancient ways of steaming out of the body or steaming the body with infusions of herbs so that our immunity is boosted. Then on top of that we incubate community owned businesses so that they are able to engage in a diversified value chain which would then still rely on the biodiversity of the forest but then feed into local and regional and national value chains. This is in response to the fact that the global value chain have really been disrupted because of the COVID-19. Zambia is landlocked so not really landlocked but landlinked. We do not have we do not have the harbor to any of the oceans or water bodies so everything that we receive comes in through the road network or by air and of course as we may all know road traffic is easier and cheaper than air traffic but right now a lot of our neighbors borders are closed because of the lockdown but we're happy to say that most of our forest communities are able to supply solutions on what herbs work for the symptoms of COVID like the flues and the coughs and the headaches and stuff like that. So as an association working with the community forest groups we're also promoting the consumption of eco-friendly climate smart and diversified local products such as the foods we eat a lot of forest fruits we eat a lot of mushrooms when they're in season we consume a lot of indigenous herbs and also we've actually found out that there's a lot of other forest products which are used in India and China and around the world which we have in our ecosystems which are actually useful in mitigating the health and economic aspect of the COVID pandemic and also this has also helped us to realize that the more we conserve the forests we'll be conserving the biodiversity and then our people are more able to harvest herbs and foods which for the relatively past time we found that we had ignored because we thought it was primitive and native but right now everybody's going back to the forest to consume these foods. So from the pictures you can see that there's a lady who's um crushing seeds what she's doing is she's extracting um mungongo oil and the other lady was showcasing what they have as a forest group. So yeah so there's a lot of stuff that comes out of the forest and the pictures here are evidence of that. This slide is looking at the value addition of the forest products that we actually have and these are predominantly um what our forests are able to provide. We have a whole lot of diverse products but these are the most popular. In the first picture you can see that we have baoba as it exists on the tree. The second picture shows the raw fruit and the seeds inside of baoba. The last picture shows the various products that can be made from baoba. So traditionally most people do not really find it valuable or interesting to eat the raw fruit mainly because they think it's from the village and it's native but we've experienced quite a lot of turnover when we've added value and we packaged these products into more desirable packaging with nutritional information and of course expiry dates. So through the through the support of ZNFCA to our community members we're also able to support the landscape approach which ensures ecological resilience and watershed management. So a lot of the rural areas have better and sustainable access to food, to fuel, to forests, to medicine and water that are important for their continued livelihoods and health. It's important here to note that we really haven't received any reports of COVID from the rural areas. We're receiving a lot of high numbers on infection and unfortunately death from the urban areas. So the question we have is what are the rural first communities doing right which we are not? Then also through the association we've been able to lobby and advocate for the rights of local communities. Looking at this indispensable foundation for empowering them also to cope on the COVID 19 impacts. Okay thanks and also how we can assist them to champion nature-based solutions against climate change. So what we're seeking is more investment in supporting the community-based organizations whose knowledge we need right now. I know that there's a lot of academic and intellectual knowledge out there but then at this point in time we need to also go back to the forest communities and tap into their indigenous knowledge systems to find out what they have been doing right which we could then add value to and package for mitigation of not only COVID but all these other environmental problems and climate change impacts that we are suffering right now. So thanks a lot. I think my time is up. I hope you've enjoyed this interview. Thank you very much Musunda and I should add that if anybody has questions please do post them in the chat. We won't have much time for questions but we will save the transcript and we can also share those questions with the speakers after the session so that they can try and feedback in a different way. So we're going to go now to a recorded video from Godavari Dhanj. She is on the call and will be able to answer any questions or hear any feedback from the comments that you're making in the chat. So Becky if you can trigger that video now. Thank you. Namaste. My name is Godavari. I am Secretary of the Sakhi Federation in Maharashtra, India and a member of the Vairu Commission. Before women were organized they never stepped out of their homes. After the 1993 Latur earthquake, Swam Sikshan Prayur organized grassroots women into SAGs and supported them to come forward as leaders who participated in community development. The Marathpada region of Maharashtra is susceptible to recurring droughts due to climate change. Drought has severely affected the food, nutrition and livelihood security of communities. To deal with this, grassroots women leaders developed and adopted the one-acre organic farming model in which they diversified into 25 varieties of food grains and vegetables in their farms and kitchen gardens. This is ensuring food and nutrition security for women, the families and communities. In response to the COVID-19 crisis, women leaders organized a special Sakhi Task Force. The task force surveyed returning migrants who were particularly vulnerable to assess their situation with regard to food, safe water and sanitation and basic health and hygiene in institutional quarantine and we provided information and counsel those in distress. Migrant workers who returned from cities such as Pune and Mumbai had lost their jobs and didn't have enough food to eat. Women leaders worked with these migrants to understand their skills and then set out to match their skills with work opportunities. In Neelaygaon village, the women's groups gave loans from their group savings to migrant workers to start small businesses such as photocopying shops and snack shops. Our women leaders worked in partnership with the local government to provide information to communities, particularly migrant workers regarding government programs and entitlements such as the national rural employment guarantee program, which is also known as the national rural employment guarantee program where people can be employed in farming and water conservation, pond desilting and other works. Also, our women explained the procedures and facilitated access to free rations under the public distribution system for families in partnership with the local authorities. Our federations women gave rupees 25 lakhs loans to their members for farming and other allied businesses which had local marketing opportunities. We partnered with the local government at village, block and district levels to advocate and jointly plan to improve access to government programs for communities affected by the COVID crisis. Our message is that being organized, having a strong grassroots network and our robust partnerships with the local government allowed us to deal with the COVID-19 crisis and help our communities and the migrant workers. And my request to the government is to come up with some measures and solutions, including enterprise opportunities for the migrants. Thank you. Thank you very much for that presentation, Godavari. And again, if there are any questions, we can bring those to Godavari afterwards. We'll have a short opportunity to do that. So I'm going to hand over now to Dr. Lea Kat Ali, who is from BRAC in Bangladesh. Over to you, Dr. Ali. Welcome, everybody. I'm going to present the community response due to COVID-19 and BRAC experience. Next slide, please. You see, Bangladesh is impacted by climate change for a long time. And now the extra burden added to the climate change impact, and which ultimately resulted socioeconomic and public health crisis, loss and damage of live-in properties. And all of us know Bangladesh is very good at managing the disasters. They have a very robust management system, which is under challenge due to COVID. And a loss of livelihoods and migration impacted, and food and water security is also in the thread. Currently, Bangladesh is dealing with two current emergencies. One is COVID-19, another one is climate change. Both are fatal, life and death. Community transmission increasing. It's already crossed 200,000 and also dead. And within this COVID situation, cyclone-like AMPAN hits Bangladesh and India. It causes huge damages about US $130 million, especially one-third of the countries in the coastal zones. And annual seasonal flooding is also adding during COVID. At this moment, the northeastern part of Bangladesh is under flood because there is a huge flood in China and in India. So we are the downstream country and we are suffering due to this flood. And currently, this is the period where dengue is outbreak. The dengue season. So the symptom of dengue and corona is similar, which is mixed up and it's adding extra burden to the people. And also, people, those who are living in most vulnerable spot in the country in the rural area, they're forced to migrate to the urban slum for better livelihood. But again, due to COVID, they are jobless, they are homeless. So now they are forcing back to their original rural village again in a climate hotspot. Next slide, please. So far, Barack Brack responses during climate, what you call the COVID response and keeping climate change in mind. 73 million people we have oriented and reached to them through messaging, information and all these things. And we distributed food packages. Two million people's hygiene products are distributed. More than 100,000 staff of Brack's are at the field to do response. And 350,000 families receive cash grants. And during cyclone Amplan, Ampan, we distributed cash cans, food packages, drinking water, and packets of ore saline to reduce diarrhea. And also, we are distributing dry food and pure drinking water, responding to the seasonal flooding happening at this moment. We are working with the city authority to do response, especially in the urban slum due to dengue. And you know, during this COVID period, there are significant amount of extra medical waste management due to PPA and all other things is added to our waste management, which is very dangerous. The city workers are poor labor. They don't have enough protection. They are cleaning. So it is which is a very critical issue. We are working with the government and also city corporations. And we are avoiding the cleaners so that it can be managed properly and government has to do their part fighting. The community driven management models Brack practicing in the slums shows us community leaders are the main responder during COVID and they help the community better. Next slide. So I am just briefly describing some of the approach in respect to climate change. We are doing COVID is prioritizing the most vulnerable population like the urban slum and also the rural vulnerable pockets. And we are interested in really we found the integration and collaborations during the COVID is the more vital things because health issue, maintaining the social distance, maintaining the wearing the mask and sanitizing and bring things in extra way need extra money. And also monitoring and quality has to be maintained because we are not frequently going to the field. We have to rely on local government institution and the community leader we have identified. They are the center. They are the crucial and implementation of climate adaptive smart agriculture because we have to make a balance between life and livelihood because we cannot compromise livelihood with the life. Both are important. One minute left. And replicate some very small scale resilient housing come shelters because in Bangladesh there are huge amount of cyclone centers but these are very small low cost housing shelter we are doing at the cyclone prone area. And implementing context specific very water solutions like mobile hand washing device for the public places as well as for the slum maintaining social distance and promoting climate adaptive alternative livelihood models. I think you have already heard of some of them. We gave some livelihood support to the poor vulnerable people living in the slum also the climatic vulnerable spots. Next slide. Thank you very much for listening. Thank you very much Dr. Lea Kat. That's been really interesting and some of the things that have come out from the presentations for me at least the role of indigenous knowledge the role of nature based solutions and ensuring that livelihoods are resilient enough to withstand the different kinds of crises. It's also been particularly interesting to see how central communities and community members have been to organizing local responses rather than relying on larger organizations externally. Now I am aware that I promised a Q&A but we're also running out of time. So what I'm going to do is continue to encourage the very healthy looking discussion that's happening in the chat box. If you do want to ask questions to the presenters please do put those in the chat and the speakers can respond in the chat box. But for now I'm going to hand over back to Margot Bettina and Pablo who can introduce the live updated cartoons from earlier. Thank you. Greetings team. It is a very interesting feat to see all of us across continents trying to have a CBA experience despite the distance. If you could stop sharing screen on your end so I can soon begin to share screen on my end. Thank you very much. So friends we are having a virtual experience of community based adaptation and there's a lot of learning we have to accomplish right. We know there are different levels of technology different levels of familiarity different bandwidths and so on. We see all these questions coming through the chat box. We want this to continue being alive. Remember this session is a taster session for what we'll follow. I am going to share with you a three of the cartoons that were created by the artists. Let me see this. This is now the part where I have to push buttons and I am capable of messing up. There we go. So let's see share screen. Firefox share and let's hope this works. So this is one of the very unconventional cartoons if you want from Rebecca Rivola. She took a photo from Southern Africa from a village in Malawi and used it to depict what are the trends in global climate finance. Notice that it's been going up but now with COVID and other things maybe it's not going the direction we want. But in the bottom what is the actual funding going to vulnerable communities. This is what you told us that matters. Rebecca if you are there would you like to share any quick insights about the process of coming up with this. Hello everybody Pablo can you give me a thumbs up if you can hear me. Awesome so I chose this one partly because I got the feedback very late in the game and this one was quite easy to make changes to but I implemented the changes in the curves before the climate finance curve was going up. The other one was going up slightly and the feedback was to have the climate finance curve come down a bit and it got me thinking about how with that curve coming down there's room for interpretation. That curve coming down can be seen as an opportunity for those people who are on the bottom curve to maybe reach up to it. It can also be seen as a compression of those individuals who are between the two curves. So I think that it provides a space to have an interesting discussion and I also wanted to briefly bring up in the context of this and the other cartoons a couple comments that came up I think in the in the general chat and there were some critiques about how the cartoons were maybe oversimplifying some problems not giving a nuanced perspective of how solutions could be could be a mix between some of the various options that we gave in some of our our collective suite of cartoons there and then there was one on how there was a predominantly Western perspective in the cartoons and I wanted to say that I think when cartoons can bring out these kinds of threads can I identify that this kind of thinking whether it's a lack of nuance or a predominantly Western perspective if cartoons can identify that that kind of thinking is existing within a group and people can look at something on paper and say like look that is where the bias is then I think the cartoons are doing their job so I hope that as cartoonists myself I've learned a lot from this experience and I hope that these cartoons can continue to be of use to you all when we share them with you after the cartoonathon thank you Pablo thank you rebecca so moving on to a next cartoon this is by emily flake you have seen the draft this is what she did based on your feedback and with the draft and if you're talking about nature based solution who to learn better from than from our own very mother earth emily would you like to share any insights about the process so I chose this one out of all the drafts I did because it got the most comments and the most positive feedback and I am very into being liked so I wanted to choose the one that people liked the most so the thinking here was to sort of highlight the idea that the earth has a lot of solutions if we can only listen to it and I wanted also to go with this one over then the others because I felt that using the planet as sort of the main character in this cartoon allowed for sort of a more global perspective on it so yeah I was um I thought the feedback was very helpful and I liked the process of hearing all the things people were were bringing to the viewing of these cartoons that I myself would have missed so I thought this was great thank you everybody Pat Burns funding stream guess what money is coming but then it doesn't get there where we need it if only we knew at the community level we need to acknowledge that this is happening at all scales and we claim there's a problem but we need to be a better part of the solution Pat would you like to share any thoughts about this this one I think the thing that I appreciate the comments but somebody made the suggestion my original didn't have a waterfall at the beginning and there was this gap there that I always felt was not quite right but the waterfall uh I felt was a really strong suggestion because it seems to resonate with with people I'll say we see this gushing of a funding and then what does it turn into because probably all the inefficiencies of people moving paper around that the actual work that the hands-on work of doing the job is kind of the end of that funding stream and so everybody's dipped into it pretty heavily before the money actually gets where it's supposed to be so I just went with that resonance that seemed to connect and I've seen some of the comments like what are the solutions and I agree that that is a well it was a frustration for me to try and redraw that in a time allotted and get it uploaded it's a function of time to sit and figure out what solutions might be and I think that would be a wonderful endeavor to to spend the time really thinking deeply about what kind of flukey solutions there might be so that I'm afraid is further downstream thank you thank you Pat and friends we're about to finish before I pass over back to some quick remarks we at the recross recross and climate center I find are finding that humor allows two things one is the creation of intelligent communication strategic common instance for conversing these cartoons will be made available to you via IED three are ready three more will be polished by the artist over the coming hours or days and what we want to highlight is that you all felt very comfortable in the audience being very candid very outspoken why is it this way what are we doing I want access where's my password humor can embalden humor can make us stronger in having a share time recognizing the problem and wanting the solutions cartoons will not solve the world but it will make us have richer conversations if we want to pursue together what the word needs for community-based adaptation we wish you a wonderful cba-14 the real one this was just a taster we're continuing to polish
