Community-Based Adaptation (CBA)

Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) is an approach to helping local communities prepare for and respond to the impacts of climate change. It involves empowering community members to identify their specific vulnerabilities and develop practical solutions that fit their cultural, social, and economic contexts. By focusing on local knowledge, resources, and needs, CBA aims to build resilience from the ground up, fostering sustainable practices that improve the community’s ability to cope with changing weather patterns, rising sea levels, or other climate-related challenges. It emphasizes participatory decision-making and locally driven actions.
