Applied Adaptive Learning: The Science for Climate Action Network; Kathy Jacobs

¹Center for Climate Adaptation Science and Solutions, University of Arizona

 

This presentation provides an opportunity to dive into the relationship between applied adaptive learning, climate assessments and adaptation action at multiple scales.  The Science for Climate Action Network is attempting to build long-term assessment and adaptation capacity that is focused on decision support, starting from a foundation of existing institutions, networks and adaptation efforts to build "communities of practice" that are actively synthesizing new knowledge.  This adaptive learning network would incorporate the experience and observations of practitioners, and synthesize it with the work of academics and agency scientists.  The intent is to scale up the capacity to use science and learn from experience in real time, and documenting and sharing lessons learned at multiple scales while also providing expert review of the findings.
