The LoCAL global programme achieved its output targets for 2014, including the design and adoption of Phase I and II programmes in seven countries.

The Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) facility is a United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) global programme designed to help local governments in LDCs access and effectively spend vital funding for local adaptation measures, using performance-based climate resilience grants (PBCRGs) to increase awareness of and responses to climate change. LoCAL operates primarily in LDCs, working with rural local governments at the lowest or second-lowest tier and small towns with populations of under 600,000. In addition to its financial component, LoCAL provides technical assistance to local governments to help them better integrate climate change adaptation into their local planning and budgeting processes, thereby improving preparedness for, awareness of, and resilience to climate change.
