Summary
This policy brief shares the lessons learned by the MIMAC project of the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ) in implementing climate-change adaptation projects in local settings.
We highlight the need to adapt climate-change adaptation measures to the local governance structures and to the socio-economic and environmental context of the participating communities.
Local, traditional knowledge can be harnessed to develop appropriate adaptation tools for local scenarios. For this to occur the communities must be considered agents of change and the adaptation projects must understand and integrate their cosmology into the project structure.
The importance of ensuring a clear dialogue between the involved parties using an understandable- and cultural-appropriate language is also highlighted.
We emphasize the benefits of promoting transparent mechanisms for the adequate distribution of the costs and benefits of adaptation projects in order to ensure equitable results that promote the acceptance and sustainability of projects.
