The “Arctic Network for Climate Adaptation and Food Security” (ACAF) project organizes a series of international networking webinars on Arctic climate adaptation this Spring and early Summer. The ACAF project is run by the Natural Resources Institute Finland, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland and monitored by the Finnish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.

The purpose of the ACAF project is to promote international cooperation on climate adaptation and good practices on climate adaptation in Arctic countries. With the networking workshops, our aim is to create and strengthen existing networks around Arctic climate change adaptation. In the networking webinars, researchers and representatives of organizations (NGOs, Arctic indigenous organizations, authorities,…) working on climate adaptation can present their recent and ongoing projects and other work on climate adaptation, learn about climate adaptation in other Arctic countries, exchange ideas, spread Arctic climate resilience expertise and create new contacts. In addition to presentations, time is allocated for group discussions.

Registration to the webinar is open until June 14th.

The program of the webinar is bilateral in the sense that there are presentations from Finland and from the USA (particularly Alaska), but the webinars are open to anyone interested from any Arctic or other country to participate as listener.
