Summary:Building resilience at the community level requires an integrated approach – one that brings together Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction strategies. This approach is now more urgent than ever as we see the ever-increasing rise of climate hazards and disasters. We need to implement locally led climate action at multiple levels and by leveraging multiple stakeholders. The CGIAR Research Initiative on Climate Resilience (ClimBeR’s) LocAlly led Climate adapTation ChampION (ACTION) Grant Program is a good example of this. ClimBeR is catalyzing community-led climate adaptation in Monze’s Hanzila community, through a community-led solar-powered borehole activity. This is just one example of how an integrated approach can build resilient communities in the face of climate uncertainties.
