The Adaptation Knowledge Portal (AKP) is the online platform of the Nairobi Work Programme (NWP), the UNFCCC’s knowledge-to-action hub for climate adaptation and resilience.
The AKP provides free and open access to credible, policy-relevant, and practice-oriented adaptation knowledge, expertise, and engagement opportunities, drawing on the NWP’s global network. It builds on contributions from policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and other knowledge holders to support learning, exchange, and the uptake of adaptation solutions across regions and thematic areas.
The Adaptation Knowledge Portal is currently being updated. Content and functionality will continue to be progressively enhanced over the coming weeks. For further information or inquiries, please contact
