Background
The Highland Adapts partnership was formally established in 2021 when nine founding partner organisations committed to working together to drive transformational action towards a prosperous, climate-ready Highland.
These organisations agreed to distribute power throughout the partnership, recognising that diverse partners should be involved in Highland Adapts. Knowledge sharing and collaboration are key to everything we do.
Since 2021, Highland Adapts has been developing a community of practitioners in the Highlands and supporting their work. You can learn more about the Highland Adapts structure here.
