Adaptation Community of Practice

Find resources and notes from the CoP, and details on how to join

Overview

Adaptation is a crucial element of responding to our interconnected crises, and ensuring the resilience of our people and systems. But it is often much harder to prioritise and put into action than mitigation, for various reasons. The Climate Adaptation Community of Practice is open to all organisations across the UK that are working to develop their understanding of and engagement with adaptation. We welcome expert speakers and collectively discuss how to implement the latest information into how we work individually and together. Previous meetings have focused on adaptation funding, and the impact of heat.

 

Purpose

The CoP acts a learning network and an action network, providing a space for peer-support, the exchange of information, and increased co-ordination around a consistent approach to understanding, communicating and implementing climate adaptation measures.

 

Membership

The CoP is open to any organisation across the UK interested in improving their work on adaptation. To request to join, please use the button below, and upcoming meetings can be found on our events calendar.
