Co-hosted by Australia’s National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility and the CSIRO Climate Adaptation Flagship, this conference was one of the first international forums to focus solely on climate impacts and adaptation.
It brought together scientists and decision makers from developed and developing countries to share research approaches, methods and results. It explored the way forward in a world where impacts are increasingly observable and adaptation actions are increasingly required.
The Climate Adaptation Futures Conference showcased leading impacts and adaptation research from around the world. It explored 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.
