The Midwest CASC convenes a community of practice (CoP) of climate adaptation researchers and practitioners engaging as peers in shared learning about adaptation science while informing, using, and implementing Midwest CASC research and resources.
Regular CoP discussions create a space for participants to learn collaboratively and exchange knowledge that will bridge the gap between adaptation science and practice with the goal of implementation of adaptation measures in meaningful, effective ways.
