Abstract	The ADAPTS approach to adaptation to climate change is an approach that builds on the needs, priorities and actions of local people and their communities. This policy note provides insight into how the ADAPTS approach has taken shape in six river basins around the world. It first focuses on two country cases, Ethiopia and Ghana, as they well illustrate how local adaptation solutions have been supported and how these solutions have been up-scaled through policy dialogue respectively. In the next section, the main characteristics of the ADAPTS approach are summarised, followed by an overview of Dutch and international adaptation funding. A gap is identified between funding through mainly national governments and the need to integrate local stakeholders in decision-making. Finally, recommendations are provided on how to bridge this gap.
