Helping communities to cope with the unavoidable impacts of climate change.
Community adaptation is a continuous, dynamic and scalable process. It is the result of many decisions made on a daily basis about things as simple as how to travel to work, whether to recycle household waste, where to locate a factory, whether to live in a small community or seek the advantages of larger population centres, accumulate to set individual trajectories of change being followed by communities throughout the world.
