policydebate.Globalpolicy,suchasonLossandDamageis increasinglyfacedwith
demandsforlocal, i.e.subnationaltocommunity-levelengagementtodeliver“onthe
frontlinesofclimatechange.”Thepartnershipmodeldescribedshowsoneeffective
model for doing so. It also shows that seamless integration of tools andmethods
across partners is neither feasible nor desirable. It is not fully feasible, as partners
followdifferent theories of change building on differences in ontological perspec-
tives. It is not desirable as these differences inworldviews aremutually enriching
andconduciveforactionatappropriatescales(local toglobal).Thelackofseamless
integration can be effectively dealt with by the adaptive learning approach imple-
mented through the SharedResilience Learning. Continuous learning for partners
andstakeholdersallowsfor identifyingoptionsandsolutions thatworkacrossscale,
are acceptable, efficient and above all, effective for those dealingwith increasing
risks fromclimatechangenowand in the future.
