🌾 On #WorldFoodDay, LIFE-AR celebrates locally led climate-smart agriculture in Ethiopia’s Kembebit Woreda, boosting food security, resilience & livelihoods. Communities are leading the way! #LocallyLedAdaptation #FoodSystems #ClimateAction #LDCs

Moving forward on locally led adaptation for 2030 Newcomers and experienced actors working on locally led adaptation need more rigorous evidence and collaboration.

Momentum is growing for #LocallyLedAdaptation – but the message from a recent Wilton Park is clear:

We need stronger evidence + closer collaboration to scale impact before 2030.

SEI’s Katherine Browne shares insights from the meeting here: buff.ly/4ce7BoW

Panelists at panel 2 of the #AfricaClimateSummit observe that to scale resilience, community solutions must be investable, which will transform household & enterprise adaptation into bankable opportunities for women, youth & last-mile communities.

#LocallyLedAdaptation

Scaling up Finance for Locally Led Adaptation Locally Led Adaptation delivers real results. Devolving finance and decision-making to frontline communities who face climate risks daily, leads to meaningful, measurable improvements in resilience…

🎥 #LocallyLedAdaptation improves lives, builds a safer, healthier world and boosts productivity. Yet finance remains small and decentralized.

New collaborations between multilateral development banks, development finance institutions and communities can change that.
