Empowering local stakeholders to guide adaptation efforts gives communities on the frontlines of climate change a voice in decisions that directly affect their lives and livelihoods. Shifting power to local stakeholders, without expecting them to shoulder the burden of adaptation, can catalyze adaptation that is effective, equitable, and transparent. The Global Commission on Adaptation has supported the development of 8 principles, based on over a year’s worth of consultations, on how to strengthen Locally Led Adaptation. The Commission now invites any organization to endorse these principles and join a community of practice on a journey of learning-by-doing on locally led adaptation.
