2024 Stories of Resilience: Local Adaptation in Practice

What are development partners, multilateral institutions, and national governments doing, to support locally led adaptation (LLA) and channel flexible finance to climate vulnerable communities?

What have been their successes and challenges?

What systemic changes are necessary, to scale up LLA?

How can providers of finance be more accountability to poor communities?

What does the research community need to do, to be more responsive to the adaptation needs of climate-vulnerable communities?

What needs to change in the way we define and operationalize partnerships?

What does loss and damage finance have to do with LLA?

Find answers on these and many more questions on how to make adaptation more effective for vulnerable communities, in both the book launch discussion above, and the publication itself, here.
