Rationale
Objective
 Improve representation of and action at the local level
 Integrate local knowledge on climate change in adaptation planning
Importance
 Climate change global phenomena are manifested locally.
Local level analysis gives insight in climate-related impacts on the
ground, i.e. how people’s lives and their everyday activities are affected,
and how they deal with challenge
 Local interests deserve to contribute to planning processes of local
concern
 Local vulnerabilities can guide resource allocation
 Local experience provides relevant adaptation knowledge also for other
levels
Application
 Local planning processes or project formulation, screening or revision

Climate information at local level
 Scientific information needs to be translated into information relevant to
the target group
 Knowledge about past climate risks and coping strategies is embedded
in local traditions, histories and practices and should be understood as a
basis for adaptation to climate change
 To gather local knowledge ...
 use Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) tools: discussing livelihoods,
valued assets, calendars, hazard mapping, interviews, etc.
 gather stories, evidence, experienced trends
 engage vulnerable groups

Your task
 You are pastoralists or farmers
Use Matrix 13
 In column A discuss the key climate-related dynamics in your
community:
 What are the priority climate-related stresses to which you are
exposed?
 In which ways is your group sensitive to climate variability and
change?
 What is your group’s coping and adaptive capacity?
 In column B identify Participatory Rural Appraisal tools that could
be used to deepen understanding of these key dynamics
