You Are the Network AST Step 0 — Climate-ADAPT In 2013 the European Commission issued the EU guidelines on developing adaptation strategies as a component of the EU strategy on adaptation to climate change, with the aim to support EU Member States (MS) in the process of developing, implementing and reviewing their adaptation strategies. They provide a common understanding of key features relevant to adaptation policy processes, building on the experience available in the EU. The steps and recommendations of the Adaptation Support Tool are aligned with the contents of these guidelines and further improved based on the most recent information and knowledge available, including the experiences of EU Member States with adaptation policy making and insights provided by more recent EU research and innovation projects. The AST is based on the adaptation policy cycle, which is a valuable analytical tool, but in practice, steps may tend to overlap and intermit.

IIASA - International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis Helene Finidori The finalists of the Knight Foundation News Challenge were announced on April 13th, and unfortunately, our project did not make it. We will nonetheless pursue it as we believe time has come for such a platform to become a reality. Here is where we are at, just a few weeks after framing the project and bringing it from an idea to a possibility. Our Advisory & Concept/Project Development team has grown nicely: What I love in the process is that this is already an emergence platform: I announced that we would endeavor to bring "edge thinkers and doers into the process for advancement of platform design in the fields of learning and action research, social change, governance, institutions, participatory politics, collective action, sustainability, business, collaboration, design and systems thinking, linguistics, semantic web." If I had a 'mission statement' to write, as of today it would be: What the Comments Tell Us: The positive: The Advice Offers for help Responses Venkat writes:
