Adaptive Management

Adaptive management is a science-based process that can help practitioners manage project uncertainties and reduce risk in the face of changing environmental, social, and political conditions. Using an adaptive management approach from the start of a project gives practitioners the flexibility to respond to unforeseen circumstances and keep moving forward.
