Working Together No organisation can adapt alone, by working together we can do more to achieve shared adaptation outcomes. By developing this capability, you will forge connections with key partners to share ideas and find opportunities to collaborate. You will benefit from engaging a diverse range of stakeholders to help shape your adaptation plans.
Maturity Stage: Starting
Maturity Stage: Intermediate
WT1A Join and participate in relevant professional and/or adaptation networks
WT2A Develop key partnerships and opportunities
In the groups and networks you have identified (WT1B), speak with people about on-going or future projects, shared priorities and potential alignment to lay the ground-work for collaboration. From this, identify key partnerships and opportunities and start to develop these. Be sure to continue sharing best practice and learn from each other’s successes and challenges.
Join networks and professional institutions to develop connections with others working on adaptation. You will benefit from shared learning and opportunities to work together, formally or informally informally, such as the WeAdapt platform.
WT1B Identify and engage a wide range of internal and external stakeholders
WT2B Coordinate with partners to identify initial actions
Take practical action with partners to develop strong collaborative partnerships for the future. Share your adaptation priorities and seek opportunities for joint action on adaptation. Even small projects or coordination of on-going work such as including partners in some of your own smaller adaptation actions or vice versa can build momentum.
Delivering adaptation needs to involve a diverse range of stakeholders, both internally across functions (OC2B1), and externally including local authorities, communities, businesses and other public sector organisations. You should identify the stakeholders that could be impacted by climate change and your adaptation, and therefore should be considered in your adaptation work. Look beyond the ‘usual suspects’. Authentic engagement will allow for adjustment of your plans and an opportunity for you to influence others.
