When you become a member of ASAP, you get access to our resources as well as our network of professionals who are tackling climate change challenges every day, just like you.
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.
What’s the price of membership?
We offer two forms of membership to tap into the ASAP Network: Individual and Organizational 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.
