The 2024 Southwest Adaptation Forum (SWAF) was held in Tucson, Arizona from February 27 - 29, 2024. The SWAF brings together practitioners, professionals, researchers, and community members working in diverse ways to address the effects of climate change.  Attended by over 168 participants and co-developed by a broad planning committee, the 2024 SWAF sought to:

• Strengthen the network of peers working across all sectors of adaptation practice across the Southwest,

• Improve awareness of, and access to, tools and resources to support adaptation efforts, and

• Leverage and uplift existing and new climate adaptation relevant efforts to increase the broader solution space

Participants explored a variety of themes including: agriculture and working landscapes, urban adaptation, water solutions, drought and flood resilience, food sovereignty, and fire.
