The ASAP Adaptation Solutions Taxonomy is a tool developed with the aim of establishing a structured approach for transparently determining whether an SME qualifies as “Adaptation SME” based on the type(s) of technologies, products and services offered; identifying areas in which SMEs may require targeted support during the engagement, incubation/acceleration phases of ASAP to avoid maladaptation and adopt best environmental and social risk management practices; and creating a flexible and inclusive framework that can be applied beyond the ASAP initiative to any company, regardless of size/scale or geography.
