WELCOME TO COPENHAGEN!

The second biennial ‘European Climate Change Adaptation Conference’ was hosted in Copenhagen in 2015. More than 750 participants from 46 countries participated in this event.

The conference offered 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 also showcased how climate change adaptation in Europe can contribute to job creation and other societal benefits.

Director Kurt Vandenberghe of the European Commission presented where European adaptation research and innovation policies are heading the coming years. The conference provided an opportunity and learn about the European Commission’s policy initiatives on climate services and nature-based solutions and their funding in Horizon 2020, and to meet partners in the largest gathering of the European adaptation community.
