Funding international research in a highly political world has its challenges.  Money doesn’t cross borders very effectively in the public space, and for many low and middle-income countries (LMICs), research, even societally relevant research, is often competing for the same small pools of funding that are being used to tackle basic needs including clean water, housing and poverty alleviation. But many of the world's LMICs are geographically located in areas that are expected to be hardest hit by the impending global environmental changes we are facing.  These are populations that will have the greatest need for strategies of adaptation or mitigation to weather the storm. In addition to the economic challenges, there are also significant social factors at play for the world to be able to legitimately engage in a respectful and holistic manner with the environmental challenges that are being foreseen at the intersection of many geopolitical playing fields.  How do we empower communities that have often been marginalized?  How do we build trust and legitimacy? How do we come together as funders, donors and partners to ensure that all stakeholders are supported and create ownership to enable solutions to take the global community forward.  This panel will explore some of the challenges being faced - and work with the participants/audience to come up with innovative ways to move forward.
