About the Article
Adaptation to climate change requires strategies that operate simultaneously at global, national, and community levels. This article analyzes how international frameworks such as the Paris Agreement provide structural guidance, while countries including Bangladesh, Rwanda, and Ethiopia illustrate national-level integration of climate adaptation into development. At the same time, indigenous knowledge—such as Maasai livestock mobility and Andean terracing—offers long-standing adaptive practices that can be aligned with scientific approaches. Community-Based and Ecosystem-Based Adaptation highlight how local participation and ecological sustainability strengthen resilience in vulnerable contexts. By connecting global policy with traditional practices and grassroots engagement, the article provides both academic insights and practical pathways for building effective and culturally grounded climate adaptation.
