Aims & Scope

Adaptation to Climate Change – now and in the future

7th European Conference on Applied Climatology (ECAC)

The underpinning theme of the European Conference on Applied Climatology, organised under the auspices of the ECSN, is the adaptation to climate change and the ECAC will serve as a platform where experts and scientists of the European meteorological and atmospheric community meet private and public stakeholders to communicate about applications for understanding of and adaptation to today’s and tomorrow’s climate.

The ECAC programme will consist of two programme groups:

  • Understanding Climate
  • Adaptation to Climate

8th  EMS Annual Meeting

The  EMS Annual Meeting programme aims to strengthen and widen scientific exchange within the European context, to explain the specific characteristics of the science of meteorology, to address the challenges of interpreting the results, and to communicate them to society at large. It includes the application of meteorology for the benefit of society, providing a platform for the meteorological community to discuss demands and aims for now and the future, thus creating synergies with the ECAC programme on adaptation.

Thus, the programme will have three streams:

  • The Atmosphere and the water cycle
  • Meteorology and society
  • Forecasting the weather at all time scales – THORPEX studies, developments in NWP, applications and societal impact
