Climate Adaptation in the Nordic Countries: Science, Practice, Policy: International conference

8-10 November 2010 in Stockholm

Climate change is rapidly becoming a reality to which society has to adapt. Scientists, planners and policymakers have started to address this challenge and the conference sets out to meet a growing demand for knowledge sharing on climate adaptation in the Nordic countries.

Climate Adaptation in the Nordic Countries will explore the links between adaptation science, practice, and policy. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective and involving stakeholders, the aim of the conference is to deliver insights for a socially relevant research agenda that advances the emerging science of adaptation and meets the needs of practitioners and policymakers.

Science, practice, policy: The conference invites scholars interested in climate risk, vulnerability and adaptation in a Nordic setting. Practitioners and policymakers are explicitly invited in order to stimulate discussion and the development of ideas between the realms of science, practice and policy.

The conference is an initiative of the Nordic Climate Change Adaptation Research Network (NORDCLAD-Net), which is funded by NordForsk in its TFI initiative on Effect Studies and Adaptation to Climate Change. It is coordinated and co-funded by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Swedish research programme Mistra-SWECIA.
