The climate is changing, and we need to change with it. A great number of things are already going well. What can we learn from successful examples from around the world? And... what can you do yourself to adapt to the changing climate?
The weather is becoming more and more extreme. And everywhere, in every part of the world, people are making heroic efforts to reduce emissions and limit global warming. This is called "climate mitigation". But... that is not enough. We have no choice but to adapt to the changing climate. NOW.
"Climate adaptation" means that we will be less vulnerable to rising sea levels. To floods, extreme heat and food shortages. And certainly also to water shortages, with devastating consequences for agriculture and nature. And for ourselves.
Good news! In fact, we have always been able to adapt. Now we have to speed things up considerably. We need to adapt - now! In this video you can see many examples of people and countries that are already successfully adapting to climate change.
And can you do something yourself? Yes, definitely! That's quite simple - and cheap. For example, take a tile out of your garden. Or put a rain barrel on your balcony. Every action, no matter how small, helps.
Climate adaptation concerns us all. And we will all benefit from adapting.

Our planet is getting warmer, with growing impact on our societies and economies. The need to adapt to new climate extremes is driving actions that connect challenges with solutions.
Our planet is getting warmer, with growing impact on our societies and economies. The need to adapt to new climate extremes is driving actions that connect challenges with solutions.
At the online international Climate Adaptation Summit 2021 in January, hosted by the Netherlands, global leaders launched a comprehensive Adaptation Action Agenda, with clear commitments to deliver concrete new endeavours and partnerships to make our world more resilient to the effects of climate change.
Over the course of 24 hours, a range of online events from all time zones inspired change and supported tangible solutions to the problems of a warming world, showing how we can achieve a climate-resilient future.
