Adaptation Research Alliance

The Adaptation Research Alliance believes that we need a new paradigm of action-orientated research to inform effective adaptation to reduce the risks from climate change, particularly for countries and communities that are most vulnerable – at the scale and urgency demanded by the science.

That is why as part of the UK COP26 Presidency Adaptation & Resilience campaign, the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is working with partners to co-develop an international Adaptation Research Alliance (ARA) for launch at COP26. 

 The ARA is a global, collaborative effort to increase investment and opportunities for action research to develop/inform effective adaptation solutions. 

Through diverse stakeholder partnerships and collaborations between funders, researchers and actors that make up the ARA membership,  we will co-create, innovate, and find solutions that have tangible effects in people’s everyday lives. 

We believe that climate-vulnerable countries should not only become resilient – but that they should prosper. Together, we can drive the systemic change that is needed in climate research for this to happen, and ensure that research is radically collaborative, Southern lead, and provides long-lasting, real-world solutions. 

Join the ARA to gain access to an ever-growing network of like-minded organisations, funders, policymakers and actors, all working together to push the agenda for societally impactful action research.
