SOLUTIONS
Practical climate resilience, built around women’s lives.
For What Comes is building a portfolio of solutions that can help women protect their health, livelihoods, income, and ability to adapt as climate risks grow.
Five areas guide the solutions we are working to advance.
Extreme Heat
Heat-risk information, safer working conditions, cooling and shade, and practical adaptation measures.
Healthy Environments
Changes to homes, workplaces, schools, and public spaces that reduce exposure and improve resilience.
Financial Protection
Insurance and other financial mechanisms that reduce the economic shock of climate hazards.
Resilient Livelihoods
Support that helps women continue earning safely and adapt livelihoods as conditions change.
Training & Leadership
Climate-risk knowledge, adaptation skills, and opportunities for women to shape resilience decisions.
HOW WE THINK ABOUT SOLUTIONS
A solution has to work in real life.
Practical
Usable in the conditions women actually face.
Women-centered
Designed around women’s health, work, income, and priorities.
Context-specific
Adapted to local institutions, infrastructure, culture, and climate risk.
Measurable
Built so we can learn whether it improves meaningful outcomes.
Scalable
Able to inform wider programs, partnerships, or policy when it works.
STARTING WITH EXTREME HEAT
Our first solution portfolio will focus on heat.
Risk information

Low-cost and context-appropriate ways to reduce heat exposure.
Financial protection
Approaches such as heat-triggered insurance and other mechanisms that reduce income loss.
