Through the Australian Landcare International Fund, Global Landcare with its annual program of micro grants up to $A 500 has been able to deliver big dividends with small monetary investment. Dr Pamela Geet’s objective is to show how small amounts of seed funding can germinate and plant ideas, allowing little seeds of community action to grow into concrete contributions that are part of a global solution to tackle the challenge of climate change.This presentation reviews the genesis of this initiative and some of the practical lessons learned along the way about responding to community driven solutions. The leverage is the connection, the collaboration and the community. Going on, she will provide examples to showcase the variety of different solutions that local communities in settings as diverse as the suburban slums of Nairobi, to water conservation in Timor Leste have devised for our support.Presenter: Dr Pamela Greet.Powerpoint slides: Big Bang, Small Bucks – Tackling Climate Change Globally On a Tiny Budget.#NationalLandcareConference#LandcareConf22
