Description:
The Climate Change Adaptation in Mountains theme on weADAPT.org (
https://www.weadapt.org/mountains
) is an open online space where users can access and share knowledge and projects on climate change adaptation and climate-related disaster risk in mountains.
It hosts a diverse array of content including case studies, impact reports, good practice guides (including risk assessment and stakeholder engagement), research papers, policy briefs, project descriptions/outputs, webinars and learning resources.
All shared content is open access and syntheses are provided to aid readers to understand, appraise and quickly access key messages from each item shared.
This online theme space benefits from weADAPT's networking features, including the ability to contact people who have shared their work and those who have joined this thematic community (just click on their user profiles, and click on ‘Contact’), and a dedicated discussion forum for those working in mountain regions where users can ask the community questions and posts about relevant news and events.
Interested users can ‘join’ the theme to post in the discussion forum, share their work, and receive alerts of new content being added to the theme. To do this, go to the theme homepage (https://www.weadapt.org/mountains) and click on the ‘Join’ button. This will also give you an option to sign up to the fortnightly weADAPT newsletter.
It is easy to share your own work – find out more about the benefits of sharing your work and how you can do this here:
