Abstract

Aims: This study aims to examine the impact of Community-Based Approach (CBA) and community’s Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices (KAP) techniques in enhancing climate change adaptation and resilience among local communities. Study Design: This is a systematic review of ten research journal articles analyzing the role of CBA and KAP in climate change adaptation across various geographical locations. Place and Duration of Study: The review includes studies conducted in diverse regions globally, published between 2010 and 2020. Methodology: The research involved a critical evaluation of each selected study’s objectives, approaches, outcomes, and significance, with a particular focus on the involvement of local stakeholders in the adaptation process. Data was collected from ten journal articles that addressed climate change adaptation through CBA and KAP methods. The analysis focused on how these methods mobilize stakeholders and implement participatory adaptation strategies. Results: The studies reviewed indicate that CBA and KAP approaches lead to improved community resilience in several ways: enhanced hurricane readiness, significant development of climate-resilient agriculture, and effective human-wildlife conflict resolution. These approaches ensure that the adaptation strategies implemented are culturally relevant and widely supported by the target communities. Additionally, the review supports proactive community engagement in adaptation planning, sustained financing for local initiatives, and continuous involvement of communities in local projects. Conclusion: The findings suggest that CBA and KAP methods are effective in enhancing community resilience to climate change. These approaches facilitate the implementation of culturally relevant adaptation strategies that garner broader community support. Future studies should explore the long-term impacts of these methods, their scalability, and the role of technology in supporting community-based adaptations. This systematic review is valuable for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers focusing on strategic advancements towards climate resilience.
