This is a Climate Web Index Entry. If you’re not familiar with the Climate Web’s Index, check out the role of the index thought. The Climate Web’s 4,000+ Index Entries are a great way to quickly find your way to virtually any spot in the Climate Web, in part because they’re optimized to beeasily searched for, and in part because they’re all connected together into their own “knowledge web,” allowing you to click your way through the “climate universe.”

You may see a Deep Dive Index Entry as a “Parent thought” to this one. About 100 Deep Dive Index Entries provide the largest “doorways” into the Climate Web, representing the broadest and/or substantively most important climate-relevant topics. Deep Dive Index Entries generally have a lot of Child thoughts like this one that allow you to get more granular with your exploration of a topic.

Regular Index Entries, because they are more granular than Deep Dive Index Entries, will link you (via Jump thoughts to the left) with more granular content. You may still see Topical Headings, but you’ll also tend to see a lot more individual resources, especially the deeper down you dive into the Index. Some Index Entries may literally link to just one topic-specific Jump thought when we want to make it easy to access that thought.

You can always tell what kind of content you’re seeing through the Climate Web’s Key to Types and Icons. Take a look if you’re not familiar with them, and then use your browser’s backspace key to return here.

Don’t assume that all relevant Climate Web content is linked to every Index Entry. Although we’re always adding new content to Index Entries, it’s a gargantuan task that will always be “underway.” That’s why you should also click on related Index Entries, and take advantage of the ability to Search the Climate Web.

Note that while you’re obviously able to see this Index Entry, that’s not the case for all Index Entries when it comes to Open Access users. To take full advantage of the Climate Web’s Index, and to access ALL of the Climate Web’s content, subscribe to Premium Access!
