This international workshop follows the 2009 EC DG Research-UNISDR event on “Dialogue Between Scientists and Stakeholders” and the 2010 on “Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation: Reducing Water-related Risks in Europe” and aims to promote dialogue between the scientific and policy maker communities towards more effective measures to adapt to climate change through Disaster Risk Reduction.

Topics

1) Knowing Risks: the most recent publications and studies relevant to DRR and climate change adaptation will be presented along updates on main European polices and interventions relevant to the subject.

2) Making Scientific Research Policy Oriented: the leading FP7 Research project supported by the EC will present their adaptation and DRR policy relevant scientific findings along with key European policy makers and regional organizations presentations on the recent implementation of interventions and policy dealing with climate change adaptation and risk reduction.

3) Governance of Climate-Related Risks in Europe: a focus on governance and the decision making process on DRR and Climate Adaptation policies in the Europe context and an active exchange between the policy makers and the FP7 Coordinators on effective partnerships for effective climate adaptation and risk reduction in Europe will take place.
