Adaptation Community is a platform supporting global climate change adaptation efforts. Launched in 2013, it serves as a knowledge hub for practitioners, experts and policymakers from around the world. At its core, the platform addresses the complex challenges associated with climate change by providing practical, innovative solutions across key sectors, including agriculture, water, health, biodiversity and transport. These solutions build on the work of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) within the framework of German Development Cooperation, and have been developed in collaboration with implementing partners. They reflect extensive experience with adaptation measures in many developing countries around the world. Thus, Adaptation Community offers a unique blend of expertise and practical insights.
The Topics section provides an in-depth overview of climate adaptation topics, ranging from nature-based solutions to urban adaptation, policy and planning to climate-induced migration. Each topic page explains in detail how the subject relates to climate change adaptation and links you to the latest knowledge products.
The Solutions & Tools section is a rich repository of all the knowledge products we have published to date, offering a wide range of materials including policy briefs, in-depth studies, training materials, and specialised tools. These resources build on the work of GIZ experts and implementing partners through German Development Cooperation and reflect the latest available knowledge.
The News section keeps you informed about the latest developments in climate change adaptation. From new publications to emerging political developments to the international climate negotiations, this section enables practitioners and policymakers to stay up to date with the latest trends and insights in climate change adaptation.
To stay connected, we also encourage you to join our Adaptation Community on LinkedIn. The channel offers additional insights and provides regular updates about climate adaptation efforts worldwide.
Adaptation Community was launched 2013 on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV). It is now being implemented by GIZ on behalf of the BMUV and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). While these two ministries, responsible for Germany’s climate policies, as well as other ministries and partners contribute their respective expertise to the platform, the BMZ is now responsible for coordination. For more information on how BMZ and BMUV collaborate with and support partner countries in adapting to the impacts of climate change, visit BMZ: Adaptation to climate change and BMUV: Climate Adaptation.
