  Through this network, members can form agile, transdisciplinary partnerships—particularly fostering collaboration between institutions and researchers in the Global South and Global North.

• Share action research learning

  Members exchange knowledge and emerging practices for implementing action-oriented research through a peer-to-peer learning environment that promotes research which is user-friendly and actionable for local actors.

• Engage in decision-making dialogues

  Members collaborate to advocate for shifts in policy, finance flows, and research standards that enable more effective adaptation to climate change.

• Enhance resource mobilisation

  Members benefit from new resources, programmes, and activities developed or supported through the ARA, as it catalyses and scales up investment in Adaptation Research for Impact.
