As climate risks continue to evolve, organisations are under increasing pressure to move beyond assessment and planning towards practical and sustained implementation. However, putting adaptation into practice is rarely straightforward. It requires prioritisation, resourcing, collaboration, flexibility and ongoing learning as new risks, opportunities and knowledge emerge.

The Climate Change Exchange invites researchers, policy makers and practitioners to explore the practical realities of moving from adaptation planning and strategy to action. Drawing on practitioner experience, this interactive webinar will unpack the decisions, challenges and adjustments involved in developing adaptation strategies, navigating different governance contexts and implementing meaningful adaptation measures over time. Participants will consider how organisations prioritise actions, secure support, respond to emerging knowledge and manage uncertainty as climate risks evolve. Through discussion and shared learning, the session will create space to reflect on what works in practice, where common barriers arise and how adaptation strategies can remain responsive, just and effective. It will support participants to connect their own experiences with broader lessons for strengthening adaptation implementation across sectors, places and communities.

You’ll walk away with

Insights into the challenges and opportunities involved in moving from adaptation strategy to action
A space to share your own experiences, questions and implementation challenges
Practical reflections to support adaptation planning, decision-making and delivery.

We look forward to learning and exchanging ideas with you.
