This conference set out to meet a growing demand for knowledge sharing on climate adaptation in the Nordic countries. It took place in Stockholm 8-10 November 2010 and gathered almost 180 scientists, practitioners and decisions makers. It included more than 80 presentations highlighting on-going research about climate adaptation in the Nordic countries and providing overviews of challenges in adaptation science and practice.
