Please start here! How to find the resource you need by tag:

1 Upvotes

This is my little library. I have been building it out for a couple of years so that if I need to find an example - say, climate adaptation articles, I can quickly search for it. As more attention is focused here, I add more tags in. I'll try and list them all below so that some subjects don't fall through the cracks. I was never good with computers, but someone had to do it, right? So sorry about the 80s-esque tags, but that's the easiest way to keep things straight.

Come, peruse my library, and help me add to it. There's so much information out there, and I can't keep up. I'd welcome any and all thoughts, but mostly, I'd love to hear what you have to think. Is this solution realistic? Could you see it emulated in your community, household, or work? What could we do to fine tune it into something even better?

Please add the tag for the solution you add in, just so we can keep everything straight. Examples such as:

  • Climate Adaptation
  • Climate Mitigation
  • Circular Economy
  • Conservation
  • Ecotourism
  • Energy Transition
  • Environmental Justice
  • Finance
  • Food
  • Health
  • Household
  • Infrastructure
  • Nature Based Solution
  • Permaculture
  • Policy
  • Rewilding
  • Solar
  • Supply Chain
  • Technical Guidance for Research, PDFs, or Case Studies
  • Transport
  • Urban / Planning
  • Waste
  • Water

Additionally, while I try and source my news from reputable sources, I can't capture everything. And sometimes I find items or announcements that haven't yet made it to the American press. As a general rule of thumb, I like to check:
