It is my pleasure to announce the official launch of a new climate change adaptation focused blog, ClimatePrep.org. Through first-hand accounts and expert interviews, the site aims to illustrate climate change adaptation through on the ground adaptation projects, explorations of adaptation concepts, and tracking firsthand the progress of adaptation in the international policy arena.

At this time we would also like to invite the submission of new material. Currently, many of the posts are focused on work going on around the WWF network; we are aiming to branch out very quickly. If you have an adaptation related project, event, or concept that you would be interested in writing about please feel free to get in touch with me at eliot.levine@wwfus.org.
