3rd European Climate Change Adaptation Confernce (ECCA 2017)
Abstract Submission Site Now Open
Veranstaltungsort
Exhibition Way, Glasgow G3 8YW.
Climate change presents a wide range of serious risks, but also offers the opportunity to drive forward innovative adaptation actions. Vulnerability can be reduced by building strong, equitable, resilient societies, protecting natural capital and deploying cost-effective nature-based solutions. Well-designed climate adaptation actions can have wider benefits for health, economy and biodiversity, and can even have synergies with climate mitigation. ECCA 2017 will explore these opportunities and help to move them from theory to practice.
ECCA 2017 will build upon the achievements of ECCA 2013 in Hamburg and ECCA 2015 in Copenhagen, which emphasised research-policy-practice links and the emerging adaptation services offered by businesses. We aim to engage strongly with the people who will deliver action on the ground: local authorities, government departments and agencies, businesses, industry, NGOs and local communities. We will also showcase adaptation in action, with a focus on how this is transforming the lives of our people and communities.
ECCA 2017 is organised into four types of session:
- Practice sessions (to enhance engagement and learning between policy, practice and business communities)
- Science-practice sessions (to enhance engagement and learning between science and practice)
- Science sessions (presenting advances in scientific methods, tools and findings relevant to climate adaptation in practice)
- Poster session to take place at the drinks reception and whisky tasting on Tuesday evening, with posters displayed throughout the conference
