AdaptNSW Forum 2024

The AdaptNSW Forum is back on from 29-30 October with world class speakers, immersive workshops and interactive sessions.

Deep understanding, bold action.

The world is rapidly changing. What is tomorrow asking of us? 

This year's Forum is dedicated to catalysing action. We’re bringing climate change adaptation specialists together for two days of thought-provoking conversation and collective changemaking. We’ll assess the current climate change landscape, explore science-backed futures thinking, and make memorable connections.

The theme for AdaptNSW Forum 2024 is “deep understanding, bold action”. This theme invites us to draw on collective cultural and scientific knowledge to catalyse action.
