The Adaptation Exchange works toward a future in which organisations can withstand a changing climate, are prepared for the impacts they can no longer avoid, and are able to continue operating.

Resilience is the objective, and adaptation is the means of achieving it. Our aim is for adaptation to become an integral part of how companies build future strategies to harden against the risks that climate change poses to their operations. This includes assessing risks, allocating necessary capital and running their operations.

We see ourselves as the starting point of that journey. With the curated and facilitated platform, we give organisations a credible place to begin and the means to take their first steps, while the substantive work of defining the path forward continues within and across each part of an organisation. We envision a functioning adaptation economy, where markets and market actors understand the fundamental importance of resilience to our future economic wellbeing, and thus value and act across markets and sectors to adapt to the challenges we are facing.
