Principles for locally led adaptation
Eight principles for locally led adaptation have been developed to help ensure that local communities are empowered to lead sustainable and effective adaptation to climate change at the local level. IIED is among over 40 governments, leading global institutions and local and international NGOs that have already endorsed these principles and are advocating their endorsement by others.
