Background
The latest IPCC report and the increased focus on locally led adaptation highlights the importance of providing support to the most vulnerable communities and locations at subnational levels. This is in stark contrast to the realities of current international climate finance flows. Less than 10 percent of international adaptation finance, between 2003 and 2016, was approved for locally focused climate change projects (Soanes et al., 2019). The current climate finance mechanisms must be revisited to ensure that finance is received by those who need it the most and that interventions are supported by organisations with in-depth understanding of the local context for implementation, namely Civil Society Organisations (CSOs).

Vietnam Disaster Management Authority in Collaboration with International Organisations and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Partnership members had organized successful online Workshop to share information on Vietnam Central floods response in 2020; to evaluate the effectiveness, relevance, lessons learned and recommendations for future response activities. This event is sponsored by Catholic Relief Services (CRS Vietnam).
