Locally-led Climate Resilience
Communities are on the frontlines of the climate crisis, facing risks such as extreme weather, food insecurity, and displacement. Strengthening climate resilience is most effective when communities themselves lead the process, drawing on their knowledge, priorities, and capacities to shape solutions. Community-led approaches ensure that climate action is inclusive, locally relevant, and sustainable, while also building trust and accountability. The resources on this page are designed to help integrate CEA into climate resilience programming, supporting people to adapt, prepare, and thrive in the face of a changing climate.
