There is a wide range of scientific and management disciplines that contribute to the field of natural resources and environmental issues management, including climate change. 

In addition to project- and location-specific websites, USAID has supported the development of other online platforms to make information easily available to practitioners working in this field and on our projects.

The online platforms are designed to:

• Encourage discussion
• Maximize the sharing of data, lessons and best practices
• Improve effectiveness and results.

USAID-supported “Knowledge Management Portals” include:

• USAID Biodiversity Conservation Gateway
• USAID Natural Resources Management and Development Portal 
• USAID Land Tenure and Property Rights Portal
• FRAMEweb Communities-of-Practice
• SERVIR Regional Visualization and Monitoring System
• FOSTER - Food Security, Sustainable Trade and Environmental Resilience
• USAID Global Climate Change Publications
• Climatelinks - a global knowledge portal for climate change & development practitioners
