Convene and align. We curate high-impact dialogues and coalitions across global, regional, and national forums to build shared purpose, forge partnerships and translate political will into concrete outcomes.
Turn evidence into policy. Drawing on research for impact, we translate the latest science and field insights into clear policy messages and practical guidance that climate-proofs investments and public plans.
Shape finance and markets. We work with governments, international financial institutions (IFIs) and the private sector to unlock and direct capital toward adaptation—advancing instruments, standards, and enabling policies that close the adaptation finance gap.
Center local leadership and inclusion. From Locally Led Adaptation and People’s Adaptation Plans to gender-responsive design, we ensure communities—especially women and youth—inform priorities and benefit from resilient growth.
Build momentum through storytelling. We elevate compelling voices and evidence at moments that matter, helping decision-makers and markets recognize adaptation as a driver of stability, innovation, and opportunity.

Make adaptation a core development choice. Integrate climate risk into national planning, budgeting and infrastructure decisions so that resilience becomes standard practice, not an add-on.
Mobilize capital at scale. Expand access to concessional and private finance; develop pipelines and policies that crowd in investment where needs are greatest.
Back locally led solutions. Align major programs and IFI operations with community-defined priorities to deliver measurable, people-first results.
Champion equity and inclusion. Embed gender equality and social inclusion across policies, finance, and delivery.
Equip the next generation. Elevate youth leadership and entrepreneurship as engines of resilience and jobs.
