'Taking
forward adaptation research' 25th
May 2010 13:00 – 15:00 Adaptation
has quickly gained attention as an inevitable response to the challenges
posed by climate change. Alongside, adaptation research emerged as an
exciting, pioneering and fast growing research field. Over the last 20
years much progress was made. Bonds to other research fields were
strengthened as well as to policy making and decision support. With the
success of adaptation research comes a great responsibility to listen to
society, interact and deliver reliable results. At the same time results
are subjected to tougher scrutiny. Adaptation research is growing up. In
this symposium we aim to reflect on what has been achieved, what
opportunities and challenges lie ahead and where to go next. Together with
the audience, the speakers and panel may explore topics such as adaptation
and governance, adaptive management, addressing uncertainty, adaptation
assessment and communication of adaptation results. Thrusting the richness
of the discussion, we aim to summarise symposium results in a jointed
publication. Invited
speakers and panel members include:
