UK Climate-Adaptation Forum · Est. London
The practical consequences have arrived.
Call to Action brings together leaders from industry, engineering, science and agriculture to confront the practical consequences of a changing climate: securing water and food, protecting communities from extreme heat, flooding and wildfire, strengthening critical infrastructure, and adapting the places where we live and work.

The mandate
A forum where experienced people speak openly, challenge conventional thinking, and identify commercial solutions that can be implemented.
The UK must focus on practical action. The cost of delay compounds across every river basin, every grid link and every high street. We exist to move the conversation from risk to response, from the headline number to what actually breaks, what holds, and what can ship.
Four fronts of adaptation
The indexWater & Food
Securing water and food supplies under drought stress and shifting precipitation, from reservoir planning to agronomy that holds.
Heat, Flood & Wildfire
Protecting communities from extreme heat, flooding and wildfire: drainage, defensible space, and early-warning systems that work.
Critical Infrastructure
Strengthening critical infrastructure (power, water and transport) through the events the network was never designed to absorb.
Places We Live & Work
Adapting the places where we live and work (housing, streets and public space) to a warmer, wetter, more volatile climate.
Who we are convening
The standing bodyWe are assembling a standing body of practitioners from industry, engineering, science and agriculture. Profiles of confirmed members will be published here as the forum takes shape.
Operators, asset owners and utilities running the systems communities depend on.
Civil, power, water and transport engineers who design and maintain critical infrastructure.
Climate, hydrology and agronomy specialists translating evidence into decisions.
Farmers, land managers and supply-chain leaders securing food and water.
Founding partners
To be announced. We are speaking with research institutes, utilities and trade bodies about formal partnership.
