Southern Voices on Adaptation project is based on the belief that having a set of agreed joint principles for national adaptation policies which are pro-poor and pro-vulnerable will help all stakeholders in a country and unite their efforts to confront the threats posed by climate change. The project focuses on developing Joint Principles for Adaptation (JPA) which is a statement by civil society organisations from across the world on what they consider to be a benchmark for good adaptation planning.
