The MACC Hub supports place-based climate adaptation projects across the UK. Ten projects have now been awarded funding to address local climate risks and deliver practical, scalable solutions.

Climate change is reshaping daily life, yet adaptation often remains incremental and technocratic. This piece explores why transformational approaches are needed, what capabilities they demand, and invites professionals to complete a survey that will guide new training approaches to address systemic vulnerability.

MACC Research projects bring together researchers, businesses, industry partners and communities to develop long-term, practical solutions to extreme weather and other climate impacts across all four UK nations.

Building on previous work co-developing Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (CRVAs) for Birmingham and the wider region, the WM-Adapt project will advance adaptive capacity across the West Midlands.

Joined Up Landscapes (JUL) examines opportunities to enhance the contribution of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to climate change adaptation in the UK in the medium to long term.

The ‘Accelerating Resilience and Climate Adaptation of Domestic Environments for vulnerable populations’ (ARCADE) project aims to assist decision-makers to protect older heat-vulnerable people in the UK in adapting to climate change within their homes.
