weADAPT is a knowledge sharing platform that aims to build capacity on climate adaptation. It provides a knowledge base of articles on emerging topics in climate adaptation and shares stories and lessons learned from adaptation projects. The platform also links to climate and other biophysical data to support adaptation decision making. Recent updates include new integration with climate data from the University of Cape Town and expanded coverage of an Asian weather station dataset.
