Adaptation and resilience

In the context of climate change, adaptation refers to processes put in place or actions taken to adjust to the current and future impacts of a changing climate. Resilience to climate change is defined as the capacity to prepare for, respond to, and recover from the impacts of hazardous climatic events while incurring minimal damage to societal wellbeing, the economy and the environment.

Our work in this area focuses on climate risk management, addressing questions of how we can improve the resilience of countries, companies and communities to current and future changes to the climate.
