The second biennial ‘European Climate Change Adaptation Conference’ will be hosted in Copenhagen in 2015. More than 1000 participants are expected to attend this event.

The conference will offer a unique platform for researchers, policy makers, and businesses to share new research results, novel policy developments, and practical implementation experiences regarding climate change impacts and adaptation, as well as highlight opportunities for business innovations aimed at supporting the transition to low carbon societies.

It will also show how climate change adaptation in Europe can contribute to job creation and other societal benefits.

Director Kurt Vandenberghe of the European Commission will present at ECCA2015 where European adaptation research and innovation policies are heading the coming years. Join the opportunity and learn about the European Commission’s policy initiatives on climate services and nature-based solutions and their funding in Horizon 2020. Meet possible partners in this largest gathering of the European adaptation community.

The conference is organized by non-profit organizations; thus, conferences fees will apply to the participants. We look forward to key stakeholders like you supporting the conference and contributing the base funds necessary to conduct this event.

We very much look forward to welcoming you in Copenhagen in 2015.
