Rationale
Objective
 Take adaptation action at local level
 Analyse where relevant actors in a broader network should contribute
Importance
 Climate change adaptation means dealing with local circumstances. Some
opportunities for interventions may be found at local level, others require
action at higher levels. Some activities at higher levels directly affect the local
context
 Adaptation action often manifests locally, but requires links across scales
 Good adaptation focuses on local conditions and contexts, and broader
enabling factors (policy, financing, etc.)
Application
 Local planning, input to local research and development agendas,
decentralisation processes

Successful adaptation action links local,
regional and national levels (1)
Top-down
 Efforts at the regional, national, sectoral and project levels frame the
range of adaptation options at local level.
 They should ideally ...
 create enabling conditions
 allow sub-national actors to understand the changing risks they face
and take actions to reduce their vulnerability to these risks.
 consult local actors
Bottom-up
 Local assessments can guide targeted action in communities with high
vulnerabilities, and in areas with the highest risk.
 Lessons and experiences with adaptation at the local level could provide
valuable operational knowledge for higher levels of decision-making

 Define where local adaptive capacities suffice, and support these
activities
External/higher level capacities can ...
 support implementation  Make sure that assistance acknowledges
and builds on existing capacities.
 enlarge the cake if there is not enough leverage at local level.
 create beneficial frame conditions as a necessary precondition for
sustainable local solutions, such as ...
 incentive structures to get finance on the ground
 a national policy framework promoting process orientation and flexible
policy processes
 a development-oriented institutional set-up, e.g. participatory
budgeting, etc.
 good practices knowledge base

Linking loan rates to vulnerability reduction
Solution
 Small loans for sustainable agriculture connected
to environmental conservation
 Offer a lower interest rate to farmers participating
in environmentally beneficial agricultural practices
(erosion control)
 In addition to helping farmers make necessary investments,
lending conditions also encourage beneficial risk management
