Lots of data and information silos
TheClimate TaggerTurning data into knowledge
Based on our experience we know:• Climate knowledge brokers worldwide use
different terminology in different languages to describe the same things connection and ➔understanding is lost
• Need to increase consistency and connections to see the full picture
• The answer is standardized tagging
CONSISTENCY IN TERMINOLOGY IS KEY

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IN
THE REAL WORLD?
weADAPT: a climate adaptation use case
19
weADAPT: a global climate adaptation knowledge platform
20
▸ Mass of information on climate adaptation and fragmentation of knowledge (e.g. lack of connections between work and networks).
▸ Lack of “actionable learning”. There is replication of work, redundancy and a lack of learning from the thousands of projects around the world.
▸ Very little systematic analysis of trends, commonalities and divergences.
▸ Need to create a better balance between the specificity of place based research and generalizable recommendations
21
The problem
Learn
Share

22
Relationships between weADAPT Editors,
Knowledge Managers and the users.
User generated high quality content.
Free, open access
weADAPT links and integrates knowledge in intelligent ways,
using semantic tagging
Objectives
▸ Understanding the decision-making environment▸ Exploring the use of climate science in decision-
making▸ Building capacity for climate science uptake▸ Monitoring, learning and reflection
23
700+ geo-ref adaptation case studies
500+ organizations & 2500+ members
1000+ articles

How do we address information overload using the Climate Tagger?
30
Meta analysis of knowledge base
▸ Visualization of information to tell a story
▸ Better communication e.g. using infographics
▸ Further collaborations building on the different strengths of different platforms and adaptation champions
▸ Mapping themes and their contributors▸ Barrier/enablers to adaptation
31
Going “beyond knowledge sharing”
- adding new value
Systematic analysis of tags, trends, commonalities and gaps
32
Mapping “who is working on what”
33
Mapping “who is working on what”
34
Next steps:
Development of gaps in Climate Tagger
E.g. Creating harmonised language in the areas of disaster risk reduction, climate science and climate services.
