SCCF and LDCF - Lessons learned
•
Project proponents draw heavily on existing climate change assessments such as NAPAs and NCs for developing adaptation projects and initiatives, but there are limitations to their usefulness.
•
A critical role for development agencies lies in establishing relationships and brokering consultations among actors in climate risk management that may not be familiar collaborators.
•
Stakeholder-determined adaptation responses are not always the most appropriate middle- to longer-term adaptation strategies.
•
Existing adaptation deficits and maladaptation to climate risks pose major hurdles to managing climate change risks – there is a clear need for integrated approaches, and for government agencies to work collaboratively on development challenges linked by climate.
