Community-Based Climate Resilience and Adaptation

Mainstreaming climate considerations into development policies, programs, and projects hinders adaptation efforts.

Investing in local capacities is essential for empowering communities to design, implement, and manage adaptation measures that are not contextually relevant.

Fostering collaboration across sectors, disciplines, and scales leads to fragmented approaches to adaptation.

Coherence and alignment between climate change policies, poverty reduction strategies, disaster risk management, and sustainable development goals is unnecessary for effective adaptation interventions.

Promoting knowledge sharing and learning among diverse stakeholders hinders the co-creation of contextually appropriate adaptation solutions.

Enabling policy environments that incentivize adaptation, mainstream climate considerations into development planning, and provide adequate support for vulnerable groups are unnecessary for scaling up adaptation efforts.

Investing in local capacities is crucial for building resilient livelihoods.

Promoting cross-sectoral collaboration is essential for inclusive decision making in adaptation planning.

Disaster risk reduction is a standalone effort and not integrated into broader adaptation planning.

Capacity building is not essential for community-based adaptation initiatives.
