“Climate Tagger and REEEP’s outstanding support have been instrumental to the CTCN as we strive to promote the accelerated transfer of environmentally sound technologies for low carbon and climate resilient development and improve access to climate technology-related information from sources around the world. The Climate Tagger and Thesaurus help the CTCN to provide users with the most relevant technology solutions, capacity building and policy advice on climate adaptation and mitigation in both a coordinated and efficient way.”

“The main benefit of using the Climate Tagger is that it allows us to efficiently tag, categorize, and organize the growing body of green growth data and knowledge. After investigating various options and seeking advice and recommendations, the GGKP deemed the Climate Tagger to be the most advanced and widely adopted of such efforts and hence made the decision to partner with REEEP and integrate the tagging tool into the new web platform… By serving as the central “regulator” of this tagging process, Climate Tagger has the potential to facilitate development of a common language for green growth research and projects. The GGKP fully supports the Climate Tagger and would actively encourage other portals to use it going forwards.”

“The Climate Tagger and Thesaurus are critical elements to the design of our extended Climate-smart Planning Platform. We have received excellent and timely support from REEEP in all stages of planning and programming the Climate-smart Planning Platform. They could not have been more helpful. We are definitely planning on continuing to use the Climate Tagger and Thesaurus and would recommend other portals in the climate adaptation, resilience and low carbon development space to do so as well, since this allows search results across different portals to be combined intelligently. Users will benefit most from knowledge brokers combining and sharing resources, and the Climate Tagger and Thesaurus is one element that allows this.”

“By investing in the extension of the Thesaurus we hope to further increase the benefit to the users of the Climate Tagger in finding relevant information more quickly and easily. We have enjoyed working with the dedicated staff from REEEP throughout the process and could witness the improvement of the search findings and their relevance over time. We hope that REEEP will continue its successful work on the Climate Tagger and explore new features such as an enhanced visualization of the Thesaurus content.”

“The OpenEI team was involved in the early testing of the Climate Tagger and has been using it ever since… I have on various occasions recommended it to developers of other portals, as well as to developers at renewable energy themed hackathons and those simply looking to better categorize their content or data. The example queries on the site make it incredibly easy to showcase, and the consensus among those I show it to is that it is well documented and easy to get started with. In fact, I’ve even shown the Climate Tagger API demo page to developers tasked with API development as an example of how an API should be documented online.”

“Climate Tagger has the potential to provide much needed structure and systematisation to the field of climate adaptation research and practice at a time when information is vast but knowledge is fragmented, and lessons learnt difficult to analyse methodically. And we are still only scratching the surface of possibilities, such as deep meta-analysis of content based on location and organization-related data provided by Climate Tagger, or innovative visualization methods made possible by tags – something we at weADAPT are exploring. We also look forward to helping Climate Tagger itself adapt, by learning new terms and structured frameworks as they emerge in the climate adaptation field.”

“The Climate Tagger is an essential tool being used on Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency’s (C2E2) Knowledge Management System (KMS). The Climate Tagger enabled the KMS to deliver users with access to the most relevant information, reports, publications and databases on energy efficiency. This tool analyses the input data and automates and identifies key words, sectors, regions and countries, which saves the administrative team significant time. C2E2 strongly suggests and encourage other organisations/users/portals to consider using the Climate Tagger in various information initiatives.”
