The scale and complexity of climate change and its effects on communities require targeted and sustained interventions to reverse existing trends and address the environmental, climate change and socio-economic challenges. [...] The theory of change (TOC) is based on the understanding that local governments and the communities in CHT are best placed to understand the diversity and complexity of local social, economic, and ecological systems and thus to identify bespoke solutions and concrete climate change adaptation actions that address climate vulnerabilities in their own contexts. [...] To improve understanding of climate change trends and impacts, GRACE- LoCALplus will generate and utilise data and evidence to inform and support adaptation strategies, and involve local governments and communities to identify hazards, vulnerabilities and risks. [...] Using the multi-district CRVA findings, and aligned with the Climate Risk Index, the project will support the LGAs to organise and analyse findings and ensure integration of the priorities of each Local Adaptation Plan of Action (LAPA) in five-year and annual development plans considering the localised context of climate vulnerability. [...] The local population and particularly vulnerable and marginalised groups (women, girls, ethnic minorities, and local tribal groups) will be engaged in, and not just informed of, the needs analysis and the planning of the adaptation activities.
