Our Work

From research to reform — on the ground and in policy

ADAPT works across five thematic areas, bridging field evidence with institutional change at local, state, and national levels.

What We Do

Five areas, one approach

Each area connects ground-level practice to policy — and they overlap by design.

01
Landscape

Landscape & regional resilience

We work across river basins, forests, rural economies, and climate-vulnerable landscapes to support locally grounded approaches for ecological resilience and long-term community well-being.

02
Climate

Climate resilience & local development

Climate change is not separate from development — it is reshaping its terms. We make adaptation planning community-led, grounded in local ecological knowledge, and linked to livelihood and equity outcomes.

Water

Water & environmental systems

Grounded insight on river systems, environmental shifts, and landscape dynamics — to strengthen long-term, basin-scale resilience thinking.

04
Forests

Forests, biodiversity & community livelihoods

Forests sustain biodiversity, local economies, and cultural landscapes across India. We strengthen forest-linked livelihoods and community participation in natural-resource stewardship.

Evidence

Evidence & knowledge systems

We invest in research that sets traditional ecological knowledge alongside contemporary social and environmental science — and get it to policymakers and communities in a form they can use.
