 In spite of being deeply involved in climate actions and services for internally displaced persons over the last 20 years, last year for the first time, I participated directly in the CBA conference. I was actually amazed and so impressed by the commitment, hard work and efficiency which was put into making it happen and making it such an amazing success. The CBA is an important platform for adaptation practitioners to discuss the concrete actions and the next steps to make the progress on climate change adaptation. The conference brings together a dedicated and extensive communities of practitioners and their practices that works on the ground towards the most pressing of humanity's challenges today. The climate, our environment and life on this planet. CBA has been able to create a collaborative online space for these discussions to happen in a way which is creative and out of the box. Last year and also this year it is limited by our COVID world and therefore it will be mainly virtual but that does not and it should not limit voices and the sharing. Diverse perspectives can be heard and people can learn hands-on skills directly from each other recognizing and valuing expertise based on daily lived-in experiences. I invite you to join us at CBA to share, delve deeper, learn and connect with others who are just as passionate to make the world a more livable, better world for us and for the coming generations. I hope you will be able to join me at this year's CBA 15.
