Scaling water and climate resilience
Tools to link national strategies to local realities
English, PDF
A critical weakness in national adaptation planning and in progress toward the water-related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) lies in the persistent disconnect between national strategies and local implementation.
Strengthening linkages and accountability between national policy and local action is, therefore, crucial to delivering national commitments and achieving resilience at scale.
This Knowledge Brief highlights the available tools and approaches available to bridge the gap from national policy to local action, linking them in a five-step process that can be flexibly applied to different contexts. Drawing from the experience of the Water Resilience Tracker and other approaches, it provides real-world success stories to illustrate how meaningful action on climate-water resilience can be achieved.
