weADAPT welcomes a diverse range of content, both in terms of subjects and styles!
The knowledge management team mainly follows three criteria to decide whether content is relevant and useful to the weADAPT community:
-
Is the content open-access?
-
Is the content related to climate change adaptation or an associated field (such as disaster risk reduction or synergies with mitigation)?
-
Has the content been subject to a quality review process?
-
Is the content beneficial to the community?
-
Does it share learning, examples, guidance, or insights?
-
Does it provide information on projects and activities that support collaboration and coordination?
-
Given these criteria, you are invited to share case studies from the field, working papers, guidance documents and training materials, research articles, project reports, project descriptions (funded projects only), workshop proceedings, webinar recordings and summaries, etc.
Sharing existing content that is not open access:
All content shared on weADAPT should be fully open access and/or available under a Creative Commons license. This is important for ensuring that everyone coming to weADAPT can fully access and benefit from the learning and lessons being shared. Occasionally, we will allow the sharing of non-plagiarising summaries of valuable academic papers that are not open access. We do this to help share the key messages coming from cutting edge research. Decisions on whether to share restricted content are made on a case by case basis.

Original content published on weADAPT will be placed under a Creative Commons license .
Undesirable content:
