About ADAPT
The Adapt Initiative focuses on solutions for vulnerable communities, tackling challenges like heat waves, flooding, and air pollution through interdisciplinary research and partnerships.
Adapt is a new research initiative that brings together a multidisciplinary team of experts to address the impacts of climate change on urban communities—an effort that is especially critical as it unfolds alongside the ongoing energy transition.
As urban populations grow and the global energy transition accelerates, cities face mounting challenges—from climate change impacts to aging infrastructure and social inequities. Adapt focuses on building resilience in urban communities, with a particular emphasis on supporting marginalized and historically disinvested populations who are most vulnerable to environmental risks.
Through cutting-edge research, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and public engagement, Adapt aims to shape more sustainable, equitable, and adaptable urban futures.
