WE HELP ORGANIZATIONS ADAPT, LEAD, AND

THRIVE IN A CHANGING CLIMATE

THE CASE FOR ACTION

The case is simple: adaptation pays for itself many times over.

For every $1 invested, we unlock up to $10 in avoided losses, while also spurring new jobs, driving economic growth, and building healthier, more equitable communities (World Resources Institute).

In other words, adaptation is not only about reducing risk—it is about creating opportunity.

WHAT WE DO

The future is uncertain, but we can prepare for it.

For us, to wayfare means journeying together through complex terrain—not along a linear path, but with care for our surroundings and a shared sense of purpose, shaping new pathways toward resilience, justice, and regeneration.

At Wayfare Consulting, we help governments, development agencies, and businesses see patterns in complexity, anticipate risks, and prepare with confidence.

We work in some of the most complex environments on the planet and alongside some of the most vulnerable communities. The lessons we learn here shape all our engagements. We bring this insight to clients everywhere—whether in policy rooms, boardrooms, or field programs.

Our work sits at the intersection of climate change, resilience, and sustainable development. We apply systems thinking, scenario planning, and strategic foresight to help partners navigate uncertainty and seize opportunity.

We design climate adaptation strategies, guide inclusive programming, and build policies that reflect both global research and local realities. Our focus is on solutions that are not just effective, but also ethical, equitable, and lasting.

We co-create strategies that build resilience, reduce risk, and deliver regenerative outcomes for people, economies, and ecosystems.

  • Assess and reduce climate risk through research, scenario planning, vulnerability mapping, and strategic foresight—grounded in cutting-edge research and emerging evidence.

  • Design adaptation and resilience strategies that integrate environmental, social, and economic goals, informed by deep R&D into what works across sectors and geographies.

  • Guide participatory policy and program design, ensuring solutions are inclusive, equitable, and locally grounded.

  • Support organisational change, enabling institutions to align internal systems, leadership, and culture with climate action.

  • Leverage nature-based solutions and high-integrity carbon and biodiversity credits to meet ESG, net-zero, and co-benefit goals—backed by rigorous evidence and learning systems.

OUR PRINCIPLES

  • Justice is foundational

    We integrate gender justice, decolonial practice, and diverse knowledge systems into all our strategies—ensuring no one is left behind.

  • Participation builds resilience

    Every strategy is co-created with those it affects—through inclusive processes that build ownership and social cohesion.

  • Complexity is a feature, not a flaw

    We apply systems thinking to map interdependencies and identify leverage points across sectors and scales.

  • Nature is a collaborator

    We prioritise nature-based solutions that regenerate ecosystems while meeting human needs—co-creating with, not just for, the environment.

OUR PARTNERSHIPS

WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY

“Wayfare supported the development of programmatic guidance for Oxfam country teams in Africa, Middle East and Asia on how climate risks, gender considerations and conflict awareness can be integrated in ongoing and future programming…Besides their contribution to our programming and influencing strategic thinking, Wayfare's focus on being decolonial and feminist were particularly appreciated by the Oxfam team.” Dr. Padmini Iyer, Research Lead Oxfam GB

“I can’t overstate the value of Wayfare’s contributions to our work. As we developed new tools to better understand the complex relationship between climate change and conflict, Wayfare brought sharp analytical insight and asked the kind of strategic, challenging questions that pushed our thinking and elevated our systems approach. What sets them apart is not just their expertise, but their way of working. Wayfare is a deeply thoughtful, inclusive, and collaborative partner that brings creativity, curiosity, and integrity to every conversation. Their passion is contagious and motivates teams to move beyond the expected. Wayfare is the kind of partner that helps you unlock new insights and new potential you didn’t know you had.” Charles Christian, Mercy Corps, Senior Advisor: Climate & Conflict Specialist
