What Can I Do? •  Create user groups: Groups have their own wikis, calendars, blog space,

prioritized wishlist, and more… •  Find or contribute resources & tools

•  Searchable directory of connections to adaptation resources •  Content is tagged and rated by users

•  Participate in the community •  Join the conversation •  Find funding opportunities and jobs •  Hear about events

•  Webinars

•  Conferences

•  Working Groups

•  Run interactive simulation tools collaboratively •  Species Distribution/Climate Envelope Modeling •  Climate Change Vulnerability Index
