Because what gets measured gets managed. And right now, the field needs better tools, simpler reporting mechanisms, and more voices from the Global South shaping how impact gets defined.

Here's what they shared – on what success looks like, how they measure it when data is scarce, what approaches have actually worked, and why resilience needs to be understood as a process, not just an outcome.

We spoke to nine ARA member organisations working on the frontlines of climate adaptation to find out.

How do you evaluate the impact of adaptation and resilience work when there are no universally accepted standards for metrics or frameworks?

Communities have grounded ideas but limited resources. Researchers hold valuable data that never travels. NGOs work on the same problems in parallel without ever meeting.

The gap in climate adaptation isn't ideas. It's the space to develop and act on them collectively.

Swipe through our Technology & Innovation Solutions from the Community-driven Heat Solutions Compendium to see what's possible when innovation meets community resilience.

Communities across the Global South aren't waiting for solutions. They're building them 🌍 From AI-powered heat alerts to solar irrigation, portable cooling devices to low-cost desalination, grassroots technology is already protecting lives from extreme heat.

At @Mumbai_Climate last month, as the Community Events Partner, we hosted a gaming workshop to co-create interventions that support the adoption of rooftop solar in a simulated Indian housing society.

These approaches highlight the importance of combining behavioral change, traditional knowledge, and sustainable practices to strengthen resilience while delivering environmental, social, and economic benefits.

As temperatures rise, preparing for summer requires more than short-term coping - it demands long-term adaptation across food systems, work environments, consumption patterns, and traditional knowledge.
