Go! London Open Innovation Challenges
Go! London’s Open Innovation Challenges are calling for ideas up to mid February 2026 that use sport and physical activity to tackle real-world challenges for children and young people. With funding of up to £100,000 and tailored support, these challenges encourage solutions that strengthen communities and build resilience; connecting directly to the principles of climate adaptation by fostering systems, behaviours, and spaces that help communities adapt to change.
MACC Research Projects
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.
MACC PROJECT: WM-ADAPT
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.
MACC PROJECT: Joined Up Landscapes
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.
MACC PROJECT: ARCADE (Accelerating Resilience and Climate Adaptation of Domestic Environments for vulnerable populations)
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.
