Mission: EcoAdapt, founded by a team of some of the earliest adaptation thinkers and practitioners in the field, has one goal - creating a robust future in the face of climate change. We bring together diverse players in the conservation, policy, science, and development communities to reshape conservation and resource management in response to rapid climate change. Our main objectives include: * Building the field of adaptation by coordinating, magnifying, and making climate change adaptation capacity and resources more accessible. * Building capacity of current and future professionals in conservation, planning, and development so they can engage in climate change adaptation. * Supporting implementation of adaptation strategies by providing capacity to partners eager to take climate adaptation action.
