weADAPT welcomes a diverse range of content, both in terms of subjects and styles!  

The content submitted must adhere to the following criteria: 

• It must be open access;
• Its topic must be relevant climate change adaptation or an associated field (such as disaster risk reduction or synergies with mitigation); 
• The content should have gone through a quality review process: either internally via the organization that is publishing the content or externally (e.g. peer review process). If an organization publishes a report, we assume that it has gone through an internal review process. Note that all content submitted to weADAPT will also be reviewed by one of our weADAPT editors.
• It should be beneficial to the weADAPT community e.g.. it should share results, learnings, examples, guidances, insights, trainings, etc.

Given these criteria, you are invited to share case studies from the field, working papers, guidance documents and training materials, research articles, project reports, event announcements and event recordings, blogs, workshop proceedings, webinar recordings and summaries, etc.
