weADAPT

Website and network based around climate adaptation issues

Policy stages:

weADAPT is an online ‘open space’ on climate adaptation issues (including the synergies between adaptation and mitigation) which allows practitioners, researchers and policy makers to access credible, high quality information and to share experiences and lessons learnt with the weADAPT community. It is designed to facilitate learning, exchange, collaboration and knowledge integration to build a professional community of practice on adaptation issues, while developing policy-relevant tools and guidance for adaptation planning and decision-making.

The new release of weADAPT.org includes new innovative tools for knowledge integration, comprising an 'Adaptation Layer' (a Google Earth interface to show 'who is doing what, where' and to create adaptation stories), a new climate adaptation Knowledge Base, customised user and organisation profiles, and adaptation decision support tools such as the prototype Adaptation Decision Explorer (ADx).
