European Climate Change Adaptation conference and webinars

The European Climate Change Adaptation conference (ECCA 2021) turns the spotlight on the need to accelerate the transfer of knowledge from R&I to policies and practices, including societal transformation and behavioural change, to increase resilience in Europe and beyond, in a context of rising climate risks.

The goal of the conference is to inspire adaptation action by showcasing solutions, exchanging knowledge, creating connections, and encouraging dialogue on how to act more and faster at every level.  

The ECCA 2021 is co-organised by the European Commission, JPI Climate and three Horizon 2020 projects (SINCERE, CASCADES and RECEIPT) and will take place entirely online on 22 June. The high-level event will take place back to back with the annual European Research & Innovation Days (23-24 June).

The event offers variety of participants as it includes researchers and adaptation experts, policy-makers, local authorities, practitioners in climate risks management, the private sector with a focus on businesses already engaged with and taking action on climate risk, NGOs, citizens organisations, youth and education organisations, community groups engaged in adaptation, communicators and all interested individuals.

Attendees will have the opportunity to actively participate in the conference in many different ways and to network with other participants in the virtual marketplace, including the possibility to book 1-on-1 meetings.

Please, also notice that the conference will be preceded by webinar series on pressing climate change adaptation challenges from 25 May to 10 June. The themes of the nine webinars are available here.

The ECCA 2021 starts on 22 June at 9:00 CEST.

There will be more information added about the conference in the upcoming weeks, so, please, follow this website that will keep you updated.
