Appropriate climate adaptation responses may therefore also vary within an individual country. Non-Party stakeholders such as sub-national governments will often have the mandate to develop and implement actions (such as flood protection measures) which can enhance an area’s climate resilience. Indeed, some non-Party stakeholders have developed good practice guidance for adaptation in certain types of cities, e.g. C40 has highlighted a 9-step approach to adaptation in delta cities (C40, 2015). This has been started in some countries, e.g. Nepal, which has established “Local Adaptation Plans of Action” in order to help vulnerable communities decide on their priority adaptation actions (IDS n.d.). States and municipalities in Mexico have also developed adaptation plans (GoM, 2015).
