This conference will be held between 5-7 July in Adelaide this year.

The NCCARF/CSIRO Climate Adaptation Conferences — as the major Australian forums with focus on climate impacts and adaptation — bring together practitioners and researchers from across Australia to share experiences and showcase activities, strategies and research.

We expect 400 to 500 adaptation researchers and practitioners at the 2016 event, which has the theme: Change, challenge and opportunity. Our program will represent the wealth of activity around climate adaptation across Australia.

Abstract submission extended has been extended to 18 April.

Abstracts can be case studies, lessons learned by practitioners and policy makers, as well as the outcomes from research. We encourage practitioners to consider presenting at the conference. The abstract portal is open until midnight on Friday 18 April 2016. A preliminary list of conference themes is listed on the conference website.
