About the conference

Co-hosted by Australia's National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility and the CSIRO Climate Adaptation Flagship, 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.  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 showcase leading impacts and adaptation research from around the world.  It 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.

The coordination of the Conference Programme has been led by an International Steering Committee of world leaders in the field of climate change adaptation

Submissions of abstracts for oral and poster presentations have now closed. All participants have now been notified as to whether their abstract has or has not been accepted.

Almost 900 high-quality abstracts from 55 nations were received. NCCARF and CSIRO would like to thanks everyone who took time to submit an abstract.
