SEI’s adaptation work is done primarily under the theme Reducing Climate Risk. It falls into three main categories: research on adaptation and vulnerability; technical support for policy-makers, planners and adaptation practitioners; and capacity-building, including the knowledge-sharing platform weADAPT and network-building and outreach in Asia.

This brief, part of a series synthesizing SEI research from 2009 to 2013, presents three key insights from our work, an overview of major projects and publications, and a look at new and ongoing work as well as future research pathways.
