Scaling up local adaptation measures through climate-responsive decentralization processes
Source
The publication discusses how decentralized governance provides opportunities to improve delivery of public goods and services needed for resilience building and give poor and vulnerable people a voice in identifying and implementing adaptation measures. It suggests how the Community Resilience Partnership Program(CRPP) could help ensure that decentralization builds resilience at the local level.
This paper identifies some key areas where the CRPP can support to build resilience to climate change at the local level through integrating climate change adaptation concerns into decentralized governance and administrative frameworks. These include:
- Support institutional strengthening of subnational administrations
- Invest in climate risk-Informed fiscal decentralization
- Support for community empowerment and a stronger demand side of good governance
- Knowledge solutions and strengthening partnerships
