Climate Change Adaptation - Webinar Series
Join us online to learn more about climate change adaptation and explore the importance of reducing our impact on biodiversity.
About the event
Climate change is one of the most urgent problems facing the planet and us as human beings. It is not something that is going to happen in the future; it is happening now. It is important that we understand what climate change adaptation is and why it is important for people and businesses to take seriously.
In this webinar series we will provide an overview of climate change adaptation (vs. Mitigation) as well as delve a little deeper into specific topics like the importance of reducing our impact on biodiversity and why cooling systems will be a crucial part of the puzzle in adaptation.
Who is this series for?
- Members of the Climate Change Adaptation Innovation Network.
- Organisations that want to learn more about the importance of Climate Change Adaptation.
- People working in this area that want to contribute to the conversation and find collaborative partners for current and future projects related to climate resilience.
