How can we design and implement a strategic framework that optimizes the Climate Adaptation Network's impact and fosters collaboration among its diverse stakeholders?
The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is leading a global initiative to enhance the impact of the Climate Adaptation Network (CAN) and strengthen collaboration among its stakeholders. As climate change increasingly affects ecosystems and communities, this project focuses on designing a strategic framework that boosts collective action and fosters innovative solutions within the network.
Prioritizing equity and justice, CAN targets regions where the effects of climate change are most severe. By embedding nature-based solutions (NbS) into its conservation efforts, the network aims to build resilience and sustainability, empowering communities while protecting natural ecosystems.
Our approach to the project involved using participatory research methods, including workshops, semi-structured interviews, surveys, and validation meetings. This allowed us to map the key stakeholders, understand their current strategies, and identify their specific areas of action. With these insights, we were able to design community-building and engagement workshops, as well as create learning activities across various regional and thematic groups. These efforts culminated in the development of a strategic framework to guide the network's growth and effectiveness as a collaborative force for climate adaptation.
Deliverables:
Participatory Stakeholder Evaluation: Participatory evaluation of internal and external stakeholders within the Climate Adaptation Network (CAN). By engaging stakeholders directly in the assessment process, we identified their roles, interests, and influence through collaborative methods. This approach helped uncover key strengths, gaps, and opportunities for deeper engagement and effective collaboration, ensuring that stakeholder perspectives and contributions are integral to the network’s strategy.
Stakeholder Mapping: Alongside the evaluation, we developed a comprehensive map of key internal and external stakeholders. This mapping process visualizes relationships, areas of action, and collaboration potential, enabling TNC to strategically engage with stakeholders based on their influence, expertise, and relevance to the Climate Adaptation Network’s goals.
Strategic Framework for Enhancing Collaboration: A tailored framework designed to strengthen collaboration within the Climate Adaptation Network (CAN), fostering alignment and effective coordination among diverse stakeholders. and a detailed plan outlining actions for equitable climate adaptation, integrating nature-based solutions (NbS) to ensure resilience and sustainability in the most affected regions.
Engagement Plan: A comprehensive strategy to actively engage stakeholders, ensuring sustained involvement and alignment with CAN’s goals and objectives.
