  61. @Irish_Aid How does #climate mainstreaming differ from gen adaptation? It's less dotted around/not integrated into wider devlpment work #CBA11 #NAPexpo
  62. @Irish_Aid #Climate mainstreaming needs entry points, willing participants, climate information & more. You can't do it yourself #CBA11 #NAPExpo
  63. @Irish_Aid Planning is good, but don't wait to integrate #climate issues. The reality is messy - you have to work with what's there #CBA11 #NAPexpo
  64. @Irish_Aid Programmes have started, people are in place - you have to integrate #climate issues into already functioning institutions #CBA11 #NAPExpo
