This is so true...there is a lot that needs to be done as far as the human development index is concerned clearly one can not think of the future when the tummy is empty... you can only think of filling the tummy!! We need the kind of Governance that will be for the people, voted for by the people,and working with the people there should be equal participation of stakeholders, we need the kind of Governance that will make sure its people have access to basic needs and will not struggle to think of the next meal, or access to education..the Governance that will put in place and monitor policies that support climate change adaptation.....there Is a lot that you are unpacking there!!

I agree, full and open participation in national governance sets the tone for participation in other areas of life such as climate governance. Climate change seems to open up spaces for collaboration even by less democratic national governments. It is politically neutral in that sense. The funding that comes with it also plays a part in incentivising openness. People should target using that openness to establish sustainable livelihoods support systems.
