Climate Adaptation 2014: Future challenges
The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF) and CSIRO welcomed more than 450 delegates to its conference, Climate Adaptation 2014: Future Challenges. This was a national conference focused on the information needed to ensure Australia is adapting well to climate change. The conference brought together researchers, practitioners and decision makers to share knowledge and research approaches that inform policy and practice in planning for climate change.
Climate Adaptation 2014 showcased the contribution of adaptation science to planning and policy making across Australia, and how robust adaptation decisions can be made in the face of uncertainty. It was held from 30 September – 2 October 2014 at the Gold Coast, Queensland.
