Helsinki, Finland

The conference is the second being organised by two Nordic Networks of Excellence operating under the umbrella of a NordForsk initiative on "Effect Studies and Adaptation to Climate Change".

The title of the Conference is "Adaptation Research meets Adaptation Decision-Making" and a wide range of participants is expected. These include researchers across a range of disciplines, public and private decision-makers, regional and local planners, professionals with a background in risk management and representatives of NGOs and international organisations. There will be an emphasis in some sessions on adaptation in a Nordic setting, but participation and experiences from outside the region are also strongly encouraged. The location of the Conference is at a conference hotel on the shore of Baltic in Helsinki.

The Conference will focus on five themes:

  1. Risk assessment and impact response
  2. Vulnerability and adaptive capacity
  3. Building resilience
  4. Policy development and implementation
  5. Cross-cutting issues.
