WE HELP ORGANIZATIONS ADAPT, LEAD AND

THRIVE IN A CHANGING CLIMATE

The case for action

For every $1 we spend on adaptation, we unlock up to $10 in avoided losses, spur new jobs and economic growth, and build healthier, more equitable communities — World Resources Institute.

What We Do

Wayfare Consulting helps organisations navigate the complexity of climate change with clarity, integrity, and purpose. We co-create strategies that build resilience, reduce risk, and deliver regenerative outcomes for people, economies, and ecosystems.

  • Assess and reduce climate risk through research, scenario planning, vulnerability mapping, and strategic foresight—grounded in cutting-edge research and emerging evidence.

  • Design adaptation and resilience strategies that integrate environmental, social, and economic goals, informed by deep R&D into what works across sectors and geographies.

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

  • Support organisational change, enabling institutions to align internal systems, leadership, and culture with climate action.

  • Leverage nature-based solutions and high-integrity carbon and biodiversity credits to meet ESG, net-zero, and co-benefit goals—backed by rigorous evidence and learning systems.

Guiding 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.

Our Partnerships

What our partners say

  • Wayfare and Oxfam Great Britain collaborated on a project to help bolster Oxfam's work on the gender, conflict and climate nexus. Using a systems approach, 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.”
