The Connectivity Hub is part of the PLAtform for Climate Adaptation and Risk reduction (PLACARD) project, a part of the European Commission’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The Hub aims to increase collaboration and coordination, and to decrease fragmentation and redundancy between the climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) communities.
The hub is designed to provide a highly visual, interactive and comprehensive overview of CCA and DRR offerings. A search through the hub can:
- generate a dynamic and interactive online visualisation of the landscape of relevant organisations and activities that connect CCA and DRR knowledge networks.
- create a cluster of information by sector, decision focus, geographical scope and risk ̶ with an emphasis on key messages and lessons learned.
- guide users to find relevant evidence, expertise, tools and methods, and good practice insights, and to make contact with organisations and peers at work on related issues.
