Bespoke websites powered by the weADAPT platform
Our new microsites service allows organisations and networks to build their own bespoke websites at a fraction of the normal cost and with minimal effort.
These individually customised websites (e.g. Adaptation Without Borders) benefit from weADAPT in many ways: through its rich knowledge base, active social media channels, popular newsletter, growing levels of website traffic, and ultimately through the connections that allow knowledge products to meaningfully connect to the weADAPT community worldwide beyond the lifetime of any project, ensuring knowledge legacy.
Additional benefits include unique website design, branding and domains powered by the same state-of-the-art tools and technology underlying weADAPT.org.
Your website, using weADAPT technology
We are offering the opportunity to take advantage of all the features that you see on weADAPT. Partner websites will appear as fully independent sites with independent URLs and unique website design.
They will use the same keyword tagging system used on weADAPT, which helps to increase visibility in online searches via popular search engines, and via searches made by weADAPT’s 6000+ registered members and 120,000 annual, unique site visitors.
See some examples:
- Adaptation at Altitude (Zoi Environment Network for SDC)
- Adaptation Learning Network (Royal Roads University, Vancouver, BC)
- Adaptation Without Borders (ODI, SEI, IDDRI)
- Water Adaptation Community (Global Centre on Adaptation)
- Climate Change Knowledge Hub (Islamic Development Bank)
- Maximising the impact & synergy of climate change research & innovation - MAIA (BC3)

Case Study
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.
Instead of re-inventing the wheel and setting up yet another climate change adaptation web site, we found that the intuitive and simple map interface of weADAPT was a perfect match to what we had imagined… While we can present our sector specific case studies separately and control the appearance, we benefit from a great existing infrastructure, an interconnected user community, high visibility and a great team behind the platform to rely on. We couldn’t have done better than collaborating with weADAPT.
