AdaptNSW Forum 2024

AdaptNSW Forum 2024

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

This year's Forum was dedicated to catalysing action. We brought climate change adaptation specialists together for two days of thought-provoking conversation and collective changemaking. We assessed the current climate change landscape, explored science-backed futures thinking, and made memorable connections.

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