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:
- Risk assessment and impact response
- Vulnerability and adaptive capacity
- Building resilience
- Policy development and implementation
- Cross-cutting issues.
