By the end of 2018, ICLEI and partners will have coordinated more than 60 Cities and Regions Talanoa Dialogues in 40 countries, including eight held by ICLEI Africa and partners in seven African countries, and submitted their inputs to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Two of these dialogues  were held in Lusaka and Windhoek, funded by START and implemented by ICLEI Africa, as part of FRACTAL’s consortium partners, through a Small Opportunity Grant. The grant enabled Cities and Regions Talanoa Dialogues to be integrated into city learning processes in Lusaka and Windhoek. The dialogues reviewed available climate change information, what information was used to develop the Nationally Determined Contributions, and how the Nationally Determined Contributions link to local action.
