Abstract	Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and complexity of environmental risks affecting communities, infrastructure, agriculture, water systems, ecosystems, and economic activities. Effective climate adaptation requires timely information, accurate risk assessment, predictive capabilities, and coordinated decision-making. Data-driven technologies provide new opportunities to strengthen adaptation through artificial intelligence, machine learning, Internet of Things networks, remote sensing, geographic information systems, big-data analytics, digital twins, and predictive modelling. This study examines climate adaptation frameworks using data-driven technologies through a conceptual and descriptive research approach. The study focuses on climate-risk assessment, environmental monitoring, hazard prediction, vulnerability analysis, adaptive infrastructure, resource management, early-warning systems, and resilience planning. An integrated framework is developed connecting climate-risk identification, data acquisition, data integration, predictive analytics, vulnerability assessment, adaptation planning, implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement. The analysis indicates that data-driven technologies can improve the ability of institutions and communities to identify climate risks, monitor changing environmental conditions, forecast hazards, prioritize vulnerable areas, and support evidence-based adaptation strategies. Remote sensing and IoT systems can provide near-real-time environmental information, while machine-learning models can support climate-risk prediction and scenario analysis. GIS can integrate spatial information for vulnerability mapping and infrastructure planning. However, effective implementation is influenced by data quality, technological infrastructure, interoperability, cybersecurity, financial resources, technical skills, uncertainty, and unequal access to digital capabilities. Data-driven adaptation should therefore combine technological innovation with local knowledge, institutional coordination, transparent governance, inclusive participation, and lifecycle evaluation. Future research should examine explainable climate AI, digital twins for climate-resilient infrastructure, intelligent early-warning systems, adaptive urban planning, climate-smart agriculture, water-risk forecasting, and integrated climate-resilience platforms. The proposed framework provides a structured basis for connecting advanced data technologies with practical climate adaptation and long-term resilience planning.
