Scaling up locally led adaptation
Without being locally led, climate change adaptation will not serve those most vulnerable to climate change. By promoting local adaptation everywhere, the IFRC seeks to make climate finance go further, act faster and with greater reach, dignity and choice for those who suffer the most. This document summarises initial lessons learned from over 20 countries and Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies, where the IFRC network is changing its own practices to integrate climate risks and invest at the most local level to increase community resilience to the climate crisis.
