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.
The GCA Knowledge Portal makes information and knowledge on adaptation accessible and actionable – as a comprehensive online source connecting adaptation science, policy and practice.

Explore which locations face the most severe climate challenges and learn why.
