Why Join ASAP?
Here is what current Members have to say about the ASAP Network
- ASAP created focus and structure for engagement and helped me make new connections as well as learn about current practice
- The meeting facilitation by ASAP was the best I've seen on any virtual platform. The regular email updates on happenings (e.g., funding, jobs, meetings, opportunities) are excellent - very much appreciated.
- I could not have accomplished participating in member groups, authoring field building resources, creating professional practice guidance in another venue. There is no other venue that I'm aware of working on these same issues.
Pay-What-You-Can Membership
We envision a network where everyone is supported 100% and no one is left out. Addressing all aspects of climate change responsibly means our network must be accessible to all striving to contribute to the adaptation field. ASAP’s Pay-What-You-Can (PWYC) program is designed for individuals with financial needs to be able to join the network without worry.
You can participate in the PWYC Program in two ways:
1. Become an Individual Member using PWYC:
- Using the PWYC program to access a reduced membership fee. If ASAP’s $150 membership fee is not accessible to you, simply join the PWYC program at checkout when you sign up as a member or when you renew your membership. You’re invited to choose the dollar amount that works for you. By paying the most authentic fee you are helping ensure that our support is accessible to all. Here is some guidance if you’re not sure what amount to choose:
- Consider joining at $25 for the year (a discount of 83%) if you are struggling financially.
- Consider joining at $50 for the year (a discount of 67%) if you are dealing with uncertainty in your personal budget.
- Consider joining at $100 for the year (a discount of 33%) if you are doing ok financially but don’t have a lot of wiggle room in your personal budget.
- Using the PWYC Program to support members with financial needs: If you are flourishing financially, you’re invited to use the PWYC program to pay more than $150 for your membership fee. Join or renew today to support the program along with member benefits.
2. Become a Sponsor of the PWYC Membership Program
- Addressing all aspects of climate change responsibly means our network must be accessible to all striving to contribute to the adaptation field. That’s why we’re seeking sponsors to demonstrate their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in the adaptation field by supporting people of all backgrounds to access the benefits of ASAP membership.
(If your financial situation changes, you can update your membership fee when your membership is up for renewal by navigating to the ASAP Member Portal, logging in and selecting My Membership on the right-hand menu and choosing the option Renew, choosing the option Pay-What-You-Can and entering the amount on the renewal form.)
Organizational Membership
When an organization, institution or company joins ASAP you extend the benefits of membership to your staff, clients and colleagues. Organizational Membership ensures that you have a hand in both building the adaptation field and benefiting from the resources and knowledge that come from ASAP membership.

What is an Adaptation Professional?
What makes someone an adaptation professional? Because of the nature of adaptation work, it may be difficult to pinpoint your place in the field. ASAP is here to help. Let's cut through the jargon, both professional and academic, and get clear on what it means to be an adaptation professional. At ASAP we use a simple answer for the question "What is an adaptation professional?" An adaptation professional is someone who seeks to integrate future climate information into their job. That's it.
Want to dig in further? Consider the following questions on how adaptation aligns with your role:
- How does climate change intersect with your professional work? Can you think of a specific example of how you're addressing climate change in your job or field?
- What is urgent about addressing climate change now, specifically regarding your field or profession?
- How will your job change as the climate changes?
Start Here: ASAP's Field Building Resources:
The field building resources below will help you to assess your adaptation practice and make sure it incorporates the latest thinking on what constitutes ethical, equitable, effective adaptation.
As the climate changes, your work will change too. Don't labor alone. Join ASAP to get connected, get resources, and get prepared.
