Adaptation Knowledge Portal

Welcome to the GCA Knowledge Portal

The Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) acts as a solutions broker and innovation hub. Working with partners and collaborating institutions, GCA highlights climate risks, delivers projects and initiatives, and provides resources for capacity building and avenues for community building.

  • facilitating knowledge-sharing and learning
  • guiding and enabling the implementation of adaptation solutions
  • providing a coherent global perspective on adaptation
