Supporting the Adaptation at Altitude Knowledge Network

The Adaptation at Altitude (A@A) Knowledge Network is a global community through which we can share experiences and knowledge on adaptation in the mountains and collaborate to accelerate the uptake of innovative solutions.

The A@A Knowledge Network is hosted on the Climate Change Adaptation in Mountains theme on weADAPT – a place where all are welcome to share their knowledge, and learn from and connect with others working on climate change adaptation in mountains. Find out more about the Adaptation at Altitude (A@A) Knowledge Network here.

The Climate Change Adaptation in Mountains theme provides an online space for:

  • finding and sharing reports, case studies, papers, webinars and other materials relevant for climate change adaptation in mountains;
  • a discussion board for making announcements and posing questions to the community; and
  • an entry point for networking with others working on this topic.
