The ALM is mapping good practices, providing information, building knowledge and networks on climate change adaptation.
To be able to adapt, local people must have effective links with national, regional, and international institutions.

The UNDP Equator Initiative has announced its call for nominations for the Equator Prize 2010. The Equator Prize is awarded biennially to outstanding local and indigenous community efforts to reduce poverty through the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. Deadline for nominations is 28 February 2010.
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is the main financer of the ALM. UNDP is implementing the project in partnership with the UNFCCC-Secretariat, the World Bank, UNEP and FAO as the core partners.
