Brazil has a National Agenda for Adaptation to Climate Change (NAP), in line with the international commitments assumed under the NDC and the global adaptation frameworks. The ProAdapta project contributes to the implementation of this agenda, offering technical support to the federal government — especially the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MMA) and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) — and promoting capacities in states, municipalities and strategic sectors. 

The project strengthens adaptive planning, with a focus on Ecosystem-based Adaptation approaches (EbA) and climate risk management. It also promotes articulation with the private sector, local governments, and civil society to increase resilience through the joint implementation of adaptation measures. 

One of the most relevant fronts of ProAdapta is the AdaptaCidades initiative, which receives co-financing from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and aims to expand the capacity for urban adaptation in Brazilian municipalities. Through the dissemination of good practices, tools and experiences, the project also contributes to the international debate on adaptation policies.
