Our regional offices ensure close links to countries in each region for the implementation of global initiatives, while also helping us customize programs and actions to local priorities. Regional offices also develop specific knowledge initiatives, in some cases serving as the global lead on a specific topic.

While each regional office has different priorities depending on the needs of the region and host country, the overarching aim is for them to operate as regional centers of excellence:

• Collaborating with national, regional and international partners, acting as a valuable solutions broker on all matters relating to climate adaptation
• Bringing together best practice, advancing research and sharing the solutions relevant to the host country and region.
• Leveraging domestic and mobilizing international expertise to support the host country and region’s challenge in responding to and continuing to prosper in the changing climate.

Our regional offices are located where there is a strong need for accelerated adaptation action.
