Ouranos Energy
Using weADAPT as its foundation, Ouranos developed a website with an interactive, web-accessible database that pools and disseminates information on energy sector adaptation. Resulting from its project, “Adaptation Case Studies in the Energy Sector – Overcoming Barriers to Adaptation” the “Energy Adaptation Map” will eventually include information from roughly 200 case studies.
Harnessing weADAPT’s technology, the Energy Adaptation Map immediately benefits from existing weADAPT website traffic, social media activity and links back into weADAPT’s knowledge base where relevant.
