The Comprehensive Study on Climate Adaptation Interventions in Africa

Africa faces escalating climate risks that threaten livelihoods, ecosystems, and hard-won development gains. In response, the African Union (AU), Member States, and partners are advancing Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) as a cornerstone for building resilience and climate justice. Yet, adaptation efforts remain fragmented, unevenly financed, and dominated by external priorities. This study, commissioned by the Global Health
Strategies (GHS) in partnership with the AU Commission’s Sustainable Environment and Blue Economy Directorate, maps, analyzes, and synthesizes scalable and inclusive LLA models across Africa to inform member states’ positioning under the AU Climate Strategy (2022–2032), and Agenda 2063.
