European Climate Change Adaptation Conference (ECCA2025)

ECCA2025 is a unique gathering of adaptation expertise from an exceptional network of practitioners, governments, researchers, and stakeholders. The conference serves as a dynamic platform for sharing experiences and practical tools, exchanging perspectives, and fostering collaboration toward smarter, faster, and more systemic adaptation in Europe.

• Managing cities to be fit for the future
• Protecting coastal and mountain areas
• Human and legal dimensions of change
• Adaptation finance: reducing communities’ economic or social vulnerabilities

Ronan Dantec, President of Climate Chance, will speak at the event on June 16th during the “Adaptation on the Ground” roundtable at the opening plenary session, alongside key actors from European local governments.
