Transformation adaptation journey

Processes which can guide Regions to the implementation of adaptation strategies which entail fundamental shifts with respect to “traditional” adaptation policies. A TAJ is regionally scaled and sourced reconsideration of human-environmental relations with a focus on improving readiness levels (ORL, SRL, TRL, LRL) across key community systems (defined again by the region) within a well-defined timeline with explicitly, starting and ending points, resulting in overall capacity building for the region.
