The ARA welcomes interest from the media in covering adaptation to climate change and the Adaptation Research for Impact approach.Our membership includes leading experts from Global South who can bring a new perspective on important global issues of climate and research that are underrepresented or under-reported.
We assist journalists by providing timely information and interviews with experts who can talk broadly about adaptation to climate change, and with specific focus on areas such as:
- Gender gaps in climate research
- Local & indigenous knowledge in climate change research
- Urban resilience to climate impacts
- Sustainable development and adapting to climate change
- Financing strategies for adaptation
- Measuring adaptation to climate change
