WE HELP ORGANIZATIONS ADAPT, LEAD, AND

THRIVE IN A CHANGING CLIMATE

THE CASE FOR ACTION

The case is simple: adaptation pays for itself many times over.

For every $1 invested, we unlock up to $10 in avoided losses, while also spurring new jobs, driving economic growth, and building healthier, more equitable communities (World Resources Institute).

In other words, adaptation is not only about reducing risk—it is about creating opportunity.

WHAT WE DO

The future is uncertain, but we help you prepare for it.

We co-design climate-adaptation strategies, guide inclusive programming, and build policies that translate evidence into action. Our work focuses on solutions that are practical, just, and enduring.

We partner with governments, development agencies, and businesses to co-create strategies that build resilience, reduce risk, and deliver regenerative outcomes for people, economies, and ecosystems.

Our services

Assess and reduce climate risk through research, scenario planning, and strategic foresight—grounded in the latest evidence.

Design adaptation and resilience strategies that align environmental, social, and economic goals across sectors and regions.

Guide participatory business strategy, policy and program design, ensuring solutions are inclusive, equitable, and locally grounded.

Support organisational change, helping institutions align systems, leadership, and culture with climate action.

OUR PRINCIPLES

  • Justice is foundational

    We integrate gender justice, decolonial practice, and diverse knowledge systems into all our strategies—ensuring no one is left behind.

  • Participation builds resilience

    Every strategy is co-created with those it affects—through inclusive processes that build ownership and social cohesion.

  • Complexity is a feature, not a flaw

    We apply systems thinking to map interdependencies and identify leverage points across sectors and scales.

  • Nature is a collaborator

    We prioritise nature-based solutions that regenerate ecosystems while meeting human needs—co-creating with, not just for, the environment.

WHO WE ARE

We are not the people who turn up with answers.

For us, to wayfare means journeying together through complex terrain—not along a linear path, but with care for our surroundings and a shared sense of purpose, shaping new pathways toward resilience, justice, and regeneration. In other words, we build processes with our partners that help them to adapt, lead and thrive.

All of us wear several hats: we are practitioners, academics, consultants, and often activists, working for several organizations at the same time. We come together in agile teams, based on assignments and expertise. We work in some of the most complex environments on the planet and alongside some of the most vulnerable communities. The lessons we learn here shape all our engagements. We bring this insight to clients everywhere—whether in policy rooms, boardrooms, or field programs.

OUR PARTNERSHIPS

WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY

“Wayfare supported the development of programmatic guidance for Oxfam country teams in Africa, Middle East and Asia on how climate risks, gender considerations and conflict awareness can be integrated in ongoing and future programming…Besides their contribution to our programming and influencing strategic thinking, Wayfare's focus on being decolonial and feminist were particularly appreciated by the Oxfam team.” Dr. Padmini Iyer, Research Lead Oxfam GB

“I can’t overstate the value of Wayfare’s contributions to our work. As we developed new tools to better understand the complex relationship between climate change and conflict, Wayfare brought sharp analytical insight and asked the kind of strategic, challenging questions that pushed our thinking and elevated our systems approach. What sets them apart is not just their expertise, but their way of working. Wayfare is a deeply thoughtful, inclusive, and collaborative partner that brings creativity, curiosity, and integrity to every conversation. Their passion is contagious and motivates teams to move beyond the expected. Wayfare is the kind of partner that helps you unlock new insights and new potential you didn’t know you had.” Charles Christian, Mercy Corps, Senior Advisor: Climate & Conflict Specialist
