MACC Hub Adaptation Projects
The MACC Hub supports place-based climate adaptation projects across the UK that explore how climate risks can be translated into practical adaptation action. These collaborative projects work directly with communities, public services and local institutions to explore how adaptation happens in real-world settings.
Ten projects have been awarded funding, which bring together universities, local authorities, NHS partners, NGOs and community organisations. They span a wide range of contexts (schools, housing, healthcare systems, local government and community spaces) reflecting the many ways in which adaptation needs to be embedded across society.
Each project takes a different approach, but all are grounded in the same challenge: how to make climate risks visible, meaningful and usable for decision-making, and how to turn that understanding into action. Many also focus on inclusion, working with groups often underrepresented in adaptation planning, and drawing on lived experience to shape more effective responses.
Together, they provide insights into how adaptation can be designed and delivered in practice across different sectors and communities.
