What 2adapt does

2adapt is a Lisbon-based climate adaptation consulting and technology firm founded in 2017 by Pedro Garrett and David Avelar, both with two decades of research experience in environmental science. The company operates from the University of Lisbon incubator with a team of approximately seven people and helps Portuguese municipalities, enterprises, agricultural operators, and community organizations plan for and adapt to climate change risks.

Its core offerings span an integrated stack of consulting services and proprietary technology. The consulting line delivers ISO 14091 climate risk assessments aligned with the Sendai Framework, the Paris Agreement, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. On the technology side, 2adapt has built a portfolio of branded products: ODSlocal, a municipal platform for structuring work around SDGs; erisk, a climate risk monitoring and alerting tool launched in 2024; adapt2Risk for climate adaptation and risk assessment; Hydroadapt, a solar-powered soil moisture and temperature monitoring system using Watermark granular matrix sensors with Wi-Fi/GSM telemetry; Mapadapt for spatial visualization; and adapt2Regen for ecological restoration. It also implements MiniFlorestas, a Miyawaki-inspired dense biodiverse mini-forest service, and runs the Rede Convergir sustainability network and the PERMALAB living permaculture lab at the University of Lisbon.

Commercially, 2adapt generates revenue through professional services (ISO 14091 consulting and MiniFlorestas implementation), hardware sales (Hydroadapt sensor systems), and platform subscriptions (ODSlocal and erisk). Its go-to-market is community-led, leveraging partnerships with established firms such as Deloitte, COBA, ESA, EEM, AML, Musami, and Everis, alongside grassroots networks (Rede Convergir, Rede Miniflorestas) and academic channels. The customer base is concentrated in Portugal, with named enterprise clients including Deloitte, COBA, and ESA, and municipal and agricultural clients as primary segments for its recurring platform and hardware offerings.

• Arcadis: Global design and consultancy offering climate adaptation, resilience, and environmental risk services across Europe. Comparable to 2adapt's climate adaptation and municipal resilience offering but at global scale.
• Jupiter Intelligence: Global climate risk analytics platform offering physical and transition risk scoring for assets, portfolios, and infrastructure. Comparable to 2adapt's adapt2Risk and erisk offerings, though at much larger scale and global coverage.

Direct peers
