The Conference seeks to identify common ground between adaptation research and adaptation decision-making by comparing experiences, reporting new insights and revealing key gaps in knowledge. Some of the other questions being asked include:

• Many countries have developed climate change adaptation strategies, but do decision-makers really have the appropriate information, expertise and tools available to them to implement adaptation decisions?
• What adaptation research is underway and where is information currently lacking?
• Is it more sensible to wait and see what happens, or to implement adaptation measures right away?
• How should adaptation policies be targeted – where are they needed most and who should be responsible for implementing them?
• Do the adaptation decisions of today need to be effective in 30 years time? In 100 years time?
• What is the cost of climate change to the environment and society, how do we measure that cost and who foots the bill?
