The challenge
Adapting to climate change requires municipalities, state governments and companies to know where the risks are and what to do about them. Brazil has tools for this, such as the AdaptaBrasil platform, run by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI), and the Climate Projections portal of INPE, the national space research institute, but they are technical and little known. ProAdapta, a Brazil-Germany cooperation project, needed to teach people how to use them and then explain concepts such as ecosystem-based adaptation and climate governance to diverse audiences.

What we did
In 2021, we produced a series of nine tutorials that guide users through the platforms step by step, jointly approved by GIZ, MCTI and INPE.
In 2022, we created a second, outreach series: a main video and four short animations in infographic style, on ecosystem-based adaptation, climate governance, private sector engagement and climate risk assessment. Each piece went through script, storyboard, test frames and several rounds of adjustments. Script and direction by Thiago Foresti, animation by Frederico de Freitas Alves and illustration by Alan Adamys.
Outcome
ProAdapta gained a set of videos that support training sessions, events and outreach for the federal government's adaptation platforms.
