An agenda is presented for the next generation of climate adaptation research. The article proposes five key areas that need to be reflected in future adaptation research: increasing transparency and consultation in research design; innovation in the design and delivery of research programmes; demonstrating impact on the ground; addressing incentive structures; and, more effective knowledge management and learning. Greater Southern representation in international funding decision-making and advisory bodies should allow for Southern voices and perspectives to be shared in the commissioning, awarding and management of adaptation research. The move towards demand-driven research prioritisation is considered to be largely positive.
