The Adaptation Fund, one of the first funders that helped develop and endorsed the Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) principles, has embedded locally based and locally led adaptation as a new crosscutting theme in its medium-term strategy 2023-2027 as it seeks to further help supply finance to the local communities across its funding windows.
