In every corner of the world, communities are implementing locally led adaptation solutions to meet the daily realities of climate change. These solutions – grown from lived experience, rooted in traditional knowledge and adapted to local systems – are crucial for a climate-resilient future. Over the past five years, the UNDP-Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator (UNDP-AFCIA) has supported communities in 33 countries to design and implement locally led adaptation solutions to the climate crisis. The programme has offered grant funding, capacity building, investment brokering and international advocacy to 44 local organizations that are accelerating innovative adaptation solutions, acting as a catalyst for change.
