From WikiADAPT

New! We will be online on Skype every Wednesday from 9-12GMT and 14-17GMT if you would like to chat about the site at all; questions, problems, suggestions, we'll be there if you need us! Just search wikiADAPT on Skype and you'll find us!

Welcome to wikiADAPT, part of the weADAPT platform!

wikiADAPT is a flexible, accessible, inclusive medium for enhancing the knowledge base of the climate adaptation community. The wiki is a collaborative project, and the idea is to have a community of contributors (see Why Wiki?), not just users - so don't be afraid to add new pages or edit existing ones if you feel you can! In order to monitor the quality of contributions you will need to register to edit the wiki. Guidance on using and editing the wiki is provided in the pages in the toolbox on the left. Have a look at our Editorial Policy for information on quality control.

Further information on wikiADAPT, and the weADAPT platform, can be found in an initial statement on the Principles underlying the platform, the vision page and summary description of the platform page.

To make it easier to find what you're looking for we've devised a series of entry points to the information on wikiADAPT, based around information users have indicated they'd find useful: have a look at the 'are you looking for. . .' box! If you have anything to add on these topics please have a look and do so in the spaces provided.

Are you looking for. . . An introduction to adaptation? Case studies of adaptation? Tools to aid adaptation? Who's doing what in adaptation? Literature on adaptation? Climate science, projections and interpretation How to map vulnerability? Adaptation Targets? Stakeholder participation? Adaptation decision-making? Financing Adaptation? Economics of adaptation? Got something to contribute but don't know where? Make a link off this page and we'll link it to relevant sections in the wiki. Got a question about the site, content or structure? Add it to this page and we'll see if we can help!
