The Climate Adaptation Futures Conference will showcase leading impacts and adaptation research from around the world and explore their contribution to planning and policy making.
Co-hosted by the CSIRO Climate Adaptation Flagship and Australia`s National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF), this conference will be one of the first international forums to focus solely on climate impacts and adaptation.
It will bring together scientists and decision makers from developed and developing countries to share research approaches, methods and results.
The Conference will explore the contribution of adaptation science to planning and policy making.
It will explore the way forward in a world where impacts are increasingly observable and adaptation actions are increasingly required.
The Climate Adaptation Futures Conference will explore the contribution of adaptation science to planning and policy making, and how robust adaptation decision making can proceed in the face of uncertainty about climate change and its impacts.
