Conference Themes

‘Growing knowledge, empowering change’

Australian’s have increasing ‘lived experience’ of a changing climate. It tests our economy, our communities, business, policy, social norms, and our natural environment. But we are building the knowledge and data that can help us respond better. Along with a growing body of examples and innovation in adaptation policy, planning and on-ground action, the adaptation community is empowering change in how we live well under climate change.

The National Climate Adaptation conference series is designed to foster a strong network of adaptation practice. We know that investing in people and connection sustains good adaptation.
