LOCCAR is financed by the Western Balkans Fund (WBF) and co-financed by the EU under the IPA. The basic idea of LOCCAR is to accelerate adaptation to climate change in the Western Balkans by strengthening the role of civil society organizations (CSOs).
Among other things, LOCCAR aims to establish regional cooperation in building climate resilience in the Western Balkans by raising the awareness of local decision makers about the impacts of climate change on local communities. The implementation of the project is based on the coordinated integration of climate change adaptation measures in the most vulnerable economic sectors in all three countries. With its results, LOCCAR will offer local decision makers sustainable solutions in the field of sustainable development.
