Adaptation Futures webinars on Adaptation Decision-Support Tools and Platforms

The Adaptation decision-support tools and platform webinar is part of the WASP Science Policy Brief series convened to support researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to further their knowledge and capacity and underpin effective adaptation to climate change. 

Effective adaptation to climate change requires useful and usable knowledge, information, and decision-support resources. In the last twenty years, many decision-support tools and platforms have emerged to address this need. Generally delivered online, these range from simple climate data delivery platforms to complex risk management frameworks and commonly target specific geography, sector, or user group. The ‘Adaptation decision-support tools and platform’ webinar will discuss the challenges associated with planning and delivering useful and usable decision support resources, using examples drawn from Australia, the US, India, and The Philippines. We will look at the diversity of user requirements in different sectors and geographies, and explore how these can be addressed effectively through careful in-depth engagement and consultation. Finally, we will consider the challenges that decision support resources may face in the future, and how they may evolve in response.
