Adaptation Futures is the biennial conference of the Global Programme of Research on Climate Change Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation (PROVIA), funded by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

We invite you to join over 1000 scientists, practitioners, business leaders and policymakers from around the world to connect, learn and inspire.
