How to scale out community-based adaptation to climate change
This new working paper from CDKN explores how to scale out community-based adaptation to climate change based on learning from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Around the world, hundreds of community-based adaptation (CBA) initiatives are helping to protect people’s lives and livelihoods from the growing negative impacts of extreme weather and climate change. Successful CBA initiatives have significant benefits for the community involved. However, the number and geographical scale of these benefits is limited. There is a pressing need to learn from, act upon and scale out the lessons of these pilot projects.
