Engaging local communities in climate adaptation efforts is vital for success. Educating residents about the risks of global warming and involving them in planning and decision-making processes can lead to more effective and sustainable solutions. Community-based initiatives, such as planting mangroves or developing early warning systems for storms, empower people to protect their own environments.
