Multi-level governance measures that support local governments can foster robust adaptation approaches and address risks and vulnerabilities across scales  . Effective action by local government requires national government's support . For example, Araos et al.  documents the case of Dhaka, Bangladesh, where a national plan prioritises measures for protecting coasts and agricultural production. In this context, the local government has minimal access to human and financial resources. Without national support, the local government struggles to coordinate action among different stakeholders. National urban adaptation directives can influence municipal governments' action and planning, but evidence suggests that national policy alone is not sufficient to deliver action on the ground without understanding local conditions  .
