Vulnerability Network & Observatory


Over the last 18 months we have been developing www.weadapt.org as a platform for collaborating on climate change adaptation. The main vehicle for this collaboration, which includes the sharing of tools, data and experience on adaptation, is www.wikiadapt.org, which allows users to add their own knowledge and experience to the site.

We have taken the decision to transfer all of the documents on Vnet to the file server for weADAPT, to bring these two initiatives closer together. Details of how to access this filespace will be provided, and the Vnet literature will be in the folder called VulnerabilityNet. Much of the guidance on weADAPT is based on the principles found in the literature and we will be adding links from the site to specific papers where they are most relevant.

We encourage you to have a look around weADAPT, contribute your thoughts if you want and please do carry on using the Vnet resources in their new home!
