"While the least developed countries (LDCs) have contributed the least to climate change, they disproportionately suffer from its impacts. Adaptation is a matter of survival for many. Climate change adaptation is a multifaceted challenge that requires innovative and effective solutions. Addressing its diverse effects on ecosystems, communities, and economies is complexified by the varied nature of climate influences across regions, economies and populations. Climate adaptation solutions must therefore be anchored in local contexts, considering specific vulnerabilities and capacities. The principles of locally-led adaptation have been developed to answer this major challenge, and to empower communities to create the conditions that ensure community prioritised actions for climate resilience are implemented. By decentralising decision-making, ensuring that resources reach those who are most affected and by prioritising local knowledge and involving communities in planning and implementation, locally-led adaptation principles aim to provide a tailored, sustainable, and inclusive approach to climate change adaptation. Applying those principles and implementing them in practice have been a priority for LDCs who depend on efficient adaptation solutions, addressing both immediate concerns and longer-term impacts. These principles have also been embraced by the international development community, who recognise that the previous adaptation approaches have not met the anticipated results. At the intersection of both, the Least Developed Countries Initiative for Effective Adaptation and Resilience (LIFE-AR) emerges as a practical pathway for testing and learning and developing innovative tactics for successful implementation."
