Adaptation Week: Advancing a Resilient Recovery
Adaptation Week was a virtual campaign that brings people together to highlight the urgency of climate adaptation and a resilient recovery. While Adaptation Week 2020 is over, you can still join in on social media and check out resources and videos on a resilient recovery.
2020 changed everything.
The COVID-19 pandemic has tragically exposed how vulnerable we are. Along with our health and economy, the climate crisis is here now and affecting everyone. These crises are interconnected, and our solutions must be too.
