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.
Our research helps individuals, communities, organisations and businesses to build resilience in adapting to changed circumstances, including those brought about by climate change.
