CAPACITY STRENGTHENING
Building capacity of institutions at all levels to support LLA
The Global Hub on LLA supports efforts to strengthen the capacity of global, national and local adaptation funders and practitioners to support LLA – including governments, international financial institutions, non-government organizations, and changemakers who can influence systemic change.
The media, with its reach and influence, has a critical role to play in bridging the gap between individuals on the frontlines, already dealing with climate impacts, and national and global policymakers with the power to support them meaningfully. Equally, local actors need to be informed of national and global support for their adaptation efforts. The media can help cross-fertilize locally led adaptation solutions between communities across the world who face the same climate threats.
