EcoAdapt and Island Press are pleased to announce the launch of CAKE - the Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange
The Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) is a content rich online adaptation knowledge base and innovative community website for people working on environmental management issues in the face of climate change.
Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) is a joint project of Island Press and EcoAdapt. It is aimed at building a shared knowledge base for managing natural systems in the face of rapid climate change. CAKE brings together EcoAdapt’s recognized leadership in developing the concepts and practices of climate adaptation with Island Press’s 27 years as the leading publisher of solutions-based environmental information to offer the most valuable, up-to-date, and authoritative materials on the subject. Just as importantly, it is intended to help build an innovative community of practice. It helps users to get beyond the limitations of their time and the unwieldy thicket of books, papers and articles by
- Vetting and clearly organizing the best information available
- Building a community via an interactive online platform
- Creating a directory of practitioners to share knowledge and strategies
- Identifying and explaining data tools and information available from other sites.
It consists principally of 4 interlinked components:
as well as community forums for the discussion of current issues in conservation in a changing climate.
CAKE will support the changes that conservation has to make to keep up with the changing planet.
And, for a limited time: CAKE and ice cream!
Stonyfield Farm has donated 100 coupons for free pints of ice cream to CAKE which we will distribute to the first 100 people to upload case studies to our database! Submit your case study now to receive a coupon!
