Overview

Climate adaptation is a complex field that changes quickly. Practitioners have to keep up with a growing body of research, shifting policy, new technology and a wide network of expertise.

Much of that knowledge is fragmented across organisations, disciplines and jurisdictions. CanAdapt was built to address that problem.

The platform brings practitioners, organisations, learning opportunities, resources and networks together in one place.

The technology

CanAdapt combines several capabilities:

  • AI-assisted knowledge discovery and information retrieval
  • Semantic search across resources and content
  • Professional communities and practitioner networks
  • Course and professional development discovery
  • Web and mobile interfaces
  • Collaboration and engagement tools
  • Structured information management
  • AI-enabled user assistance

The bigger idea

CanAdapt shows intelligent software doing more than automating individual tasks. It connects expertise spread across a whole field, makes institutional knowledge easier to reach, and gives practitioners shared infrastructure for working together.

It is also where much of Base6's approach comes from: understanding a complex set of needs, building working technology, and improving it as people use it.
