CONTENTS
Adaptation is the process of adjusting to actual or expected climate impacts. It involves identifying risks, building internal capacity, and taking action to reduce damage or take advantage of opportunities.
Example in context
You’re advising a city council responsible for critical infrastructure. After identifying flood-prone assets through a climate risk assessment, you help the team develop adaptation plans, such as upgrading drainage systems or relocating key services, to reduce future disruption.
Why it matters
Adaptation is one of the two core pillars of climate action, alongside mitigation. As physical risks increase, investors, regulators and communities are demanding evidence that organisations are adapting, not just disclosing. Climate intelligence helps inform these plans by showing where and when action is needed.
