Connecting natural, spatial, economic, and social science on Climate Adaptation

The global climate is changing – global temperatures are increasing, ice glaciers are melting, the sea level is rising. We have to deal with more extreme weather conditions, long periods of drought, periods of water scarcity, or extreme rainfall and flooding. Climate change has a huge impact on our liveability, our food supply, our economy, our health and our safety.

Researchers from natural, spatial, economic, and social science of the University of Groningen and the Universities of Applied Sciences in the Northern Netherlands are working on topics related to climate adaptation. On January 18, we aim to bring these researchers together to get to know each other's research better and to look for synergies in connection to regional – and global - challenges.
