Join us at ECCA 2023

Join us and SCORE at ECCA 2023, the influential climate adaptation conference happening from 19 to 21 June in Dublin, Ireland. Organized by JPI Climate and supported by the MAGICA project, this in-person event will host up to 500 attendees with live streaming and interactive hybrid formats.

About ECCA

This conference is a must-attend for adaptation experts, researchers, policymakers, businesses, investors, NGOs, citizen organizations, and more. You’ll have the opportunity to hear from Europe’s leading climate researchers who are using trusted data to develop cutting-edge climate action tools and decision-support platforms. Get inspired by real-life examples of challenges and potential solutions.

After Europe’s recent extreme weather events, including the warmest summer on record and severe floods, it’s crucial that we take action on climate resilience. Adaptation actions not only contribute to recovery and resilience but also help mitigate climate change, protect biodiversity, ensure citizen safety, and secure financial stability.

Our session

On Wed 21 June at 11.30am, CoCliCo consortium colleagues, Paul Sayers from Sayers and Partners and Carme Castañer from ICLEI Europe, in combination with Charmae Pyl Wissink-Nercua from IHS, will deliver the session “Transformational Change”.

 The session will include two presentations to set the scene:

  1. Assessing the scale of the transformational challenge at the coast
  2. Challenges faced and adaptation responses by coastal cities and towns across Europe

Followed by a panel session taking questions and inputs from the floor and online. Register for the event now!

Webinar Recording: IPCC Projections & Sea Level Rise

During this webinar, authors from working groups I and II from the 2022 IPCC report presented the data, where to find it and how to interpret it, and how practitioners can understand low-likelihood/high-impact sea-level rise projections and their use in adaptation. The event concluded with a presentation of the joint policy brief from European Projects PROTECT, CoCliCo and SCORE, “When will a 2-metre rise in sea level occur, and how might we adapt?”

Speakers: Bob Kopp from Rutgers UniversityMarjolijn Haasnoot from Deltares and Utrecht UniversityKarina VON SCHUCKMANN from Mercator Ocean InternationalGonéri Le Cozannet from BRGMRoshanka Ranasinghe from Deltares, IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and University of Twente, Gaël Durand, Robert Nicholls from University of East AngliaA K M Saiful Islam from Drexel University,and Elham Ali from Suez University(TBC).

IPCC Projections & Sea Level Rise

Want to know more about the IPCC projections & planning for sea level rise

This event will present key statements on the sea-level rise from the Working Group I and II IPCC reports, including adaptation challenges. The authors of the report will present the latest projections, where to find the data and how to interpret it, and how practitioners can understand low-likelihood/high-impact sea-level rise projections and their use in adaptation. The event will conclude with the presentation of the joint policy brief from European Projects PROTECT, CoCliCo and SCORE, “When will a 2-metre rise in sea level occur, and how might we adapt?”

This event will be particularly useful for people working in coastal adaptation, integrated coastal zone management or at the interface between science and society, from journalists to science communicators.

PROTECT webinar: Monday 30 January – 3-5 pm CET

Speakers: Bob Kopp from Rutgers UniversityMarjolijn Haasnoot from Deltares and Utrecht UniversityKarina VON SCHUCKMANN from Mercator Ocean InternationalGonéri Le Cozannet from BRGMRoshanka Ranasinghe from Deltares, IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and University of Twente, Gaël Durand, Robert Nicholls from University of East AngliaA K M Saiful Islam from Drexel University,and Elham Ali from Suez University(TBC).
