[SEI] Measuring what matters: Building impact pathways to actionable information for the weADAPT platform |

| Category | |
Key messages
The potential of online knowledge platforms to support urgent climate action is increasingly recognized; however, their effectiveness is often hindered by the fragmentation and overabundance of information, which can impede learning and contribute to misinformation, redundancy, and erosion of trust. Despite their proliferation, few platforms have undergone systematic evaluation of their impact on research, policy, and practice. This study addressed this gap by evaluating weADAPT, SEI’s collaborative, online climate change adaptation platform. The findings of the evaluation were used to underpin a platform upgrade, an update of its theory of change, and the development of a tailored monitoring, evaluation, and learning framework with custom progress indicators. The study underscores the importance of aligning knowledge management practices with user needs and evaluating platform impact in meaningful ways: measuring what is valued, rather than merely what is easy to quantify. The insights from the evaluation are intended to offer practical guidance for knowledge managers and platform developers working to enhance learning and support evidence-based climate adaptation.
