Climate adaptation in the Nordic countries: Science, practice, policy
Climate change is rapidly becoming a reality to which society has to adapt. Scientists, planners and policy-makers have started to address the adaptation challenge. This conference sets out to meet a growing demand for knowledge sharing on climate adaptation in the Nordic countries.
The conference will explore the links between adaptation science, practice, and policy. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective and involving stakeholders, the aim of the conference is to deliver insights for a socially relevant research agenda that advances the emerging science of adaptation and meets the needs of practitioners and policy-makers.
Science, Practice, Policy: The conference welcomes scholars from around the world interested in climate risk, vulnerability and adaptation in a Nordic setting. Practitioners and policymakers are explicitly invited in order to stimulate discussion and the development of ideas between the realms of science, practice and policy.

The conference is an initiative of the Nordic Climate Change Adaptation Research Network (NORDCLAD-Net), which is funded by the Nordic Top-level research Initiative Effect Studies and Adaptation to Climate Change. It is coordinated and co-funded by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Swedish research programme Mistra-SWECIA.
