Conference: Living with climate change
Conference Announcement
Living with climate change: are there limits to adaptation?
7 & 8 February 2008, Royal Geographical Society, London
The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and the University of Oslo, with the support of GECHS, announce a two day international conference to consider strategies for adapting to climate change. The conference will explore the potential barriers to adaptation that may limit the ability of societies to adapt to climate change and to identify opportunities for overcoming these barriers. The conference is aimed at researchers and practitioners with an interest in understanding how societies adapt to climate change.
The conference will explore the following three themes:
- Adapting to thresholds in physical and ecological systems
- The role of values and culture in adaptation
- Governance, knowledge and technologies for adaptation
We invite the submission of abstracts, by 10 August 2007, from researchers wishing to present papers under one of the three themes outlined above. Visit the conference website for further details
