Collaborating on Climate Adaptation

Why weADAPT?

This knowledge platform is a dynamic expression of its content, which includes our network of Authors, Knowledge Partners, organisations, projects and initiatives around the world. Relationships between this content are enriched by innovative semantic search technology. This means we are going beyond just 'knowledge sharing' - our collective knowledge is linked and integrated in meaningful ways that were not previously possible and this makes weADAPT responsive to your needs by providing you with information tailored to your interests.

The Adaptation Layer

weADAPT has been collaborating with Google.org to explore ways of improving access to information on climate adaptation using Google Earth. Based on input from users we have created a quick and easy way to find out who is working on what and where. This also allows you to share the work you are doing with a wide audience and raise awareness on important issues. Click here to find out more and see our example Google Earth stories.
