Applying Eight Principles of Locally Led Adaptation
Over the last 50 years, we have seen the effects of climate change across all our work in 160 countries – from impacting conservation efforts and economic growth, to leading to a scarcity of water and natural resources that impacts human health and exacerbates conflict. To address this, we take a holistic, locally led approach to climate adaptation and resilience, understanding the impact that it has on every technical sector and every program and ensuring that communities can take charge of their climate adaptation strategies. Locally led adaptation harnesses local knowledge and resources, and addresses power imbalances, to foster effective and equitable climate responses.
In this video series, we highlight how Chemonics and our partners are applying the USAID-endorsed eight principles of locally led adaptation to address climate change. These videos show what we’re doing in Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Malawi, Serbia, Tanzania, and Southern Africa and illustrate the following principles:
1: Devolving Decision-Making – USAID Colombia Inclusive Justice Activity
2: Addressing Structural Inequalities – USAID Serbia Energy Security Activity
3: Providing Accessible Funding – USAID Heshimu Bahari Project
4. Improving Local Capabilities – GHSC-PSM Malawi
5. Understanding Climate Risk – USAID Resilient Waters Program
6. Enabling Adaptive Management – USAID Ecosystems/Protibesh Activity
7. Ensuring Transparency and Accountability – USAID Feed the Future Bangladesh Horticulture, Fruits, and Non-Food Crops Activity
8. Fostering Collaboration and Investment – The Land Innovation Fund for Sustainable Livelihoods
