Beginning on Tuesday 29, 2010, Australia will hold its first climate change adaptation conference. It will be held on the Gold Coast for three days.

 


According to the June 25, 2010 CSIRO article Australia's first climate change adaptation conference opens next week, 'The first international conference held in Australia to discuss the science and options for adapting to climate change begins Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (Queensland, Australia) on Tuesday 29 June.'

Nearly one thousand delegates from around the world are expected to register for Climate Adaptation Futures 2010 Conference (CAF2010 Conference).

The National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility (NCCARF) and the CSIRO Climate Adaptation Flagship will co-host the conference.

The website for CAF2010 states the conference is for 'Preparing for the unavoidable impacts of climate change.'

The chairpersons for the conference are NCCARF Director Professor Jean Palutikof and CSIRO Climate Adaptation Flagship Director Dr. Andrew Ash.

The conference is said to be the first one to 'focus solely on practical 'adaptation' measures.'
