Inside WFP’s Climate Innovation Bootcamp

Published on February 18, 2026

Asia is home to around 60 percent of the world’s population and is a major hub of global agriculture, producing roughly half of the world’s food across diverse farming systems and supply chains. Yet the region is increasingly exposed to climate change impacts. Prolonged droughts, floods, and heatwaves are disrupting food production and distribution, threatening the livelihoods and nutrition of millions of people.

To help address these challenges, the World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator hosted the in-person Adaptation Fund Climate Innovation Accelerator bootcamp in Munich. The five-day programme brought together eleven selected startups developing climate adaptation solutions for Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines. Chosen through a competitive call for applications launched in September 2025, each team is working to counter the growing impact of extreme weather on food security across the region.

Here is a day-by-day look inside the bootcamp.

As the planet heats up, and the impacts of climate change hit ever harder, supporting vulnerable communities to adapt to the new reality is becoming more crucial, say experts. Even if the world does rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions – which it is not – high temperatures and climate instability will persist for decades. Climate technology is central to adaptation – allowing communities to, for e
