The Adaptation Atlas Advisory Board


The Atlas Advisory Board consists of eight members, chosen for their expertise in the areas of science, research, policy, practice and technology. They are thought leaders in their field and guide the continued innovation and application of the Atlas. In this critical first phase of the initiative, they have served as an invaluable resource and as ambassadors-at-large and are key in ensuring the success of the Atlas.
