Designing Change: Building the UK’s Transformational Adaptation together
Microsoft Teams and Kings College London, Strand London WC2R 2LS
About this Event
There is evidence of mounting “adaptation gaps” as the impacts of climate change rapidly intensify and interact with social, economic, and physical risks, amplifying the exposure and vulnerability, and undermining resilience. The vision of the MACC Hub project is to provide a new, UK-wide, science-policy interface capable of informing and enabling transformative adaptation to achieve lasting resilience to climate risks. To help bridge the adaptation information gap, the MACC Hub platform, will be user- and capability-led platform and we need your input!
Join our interactive workshop to share your insights and discuss your transformational adaptation needs. The workshop will introduce the MACC Hub project before handing over to table discussions that will focus on how we share transformational adaptation knowledge, how to develop capacity through engagement between UK devolved nations, and identifying learning pathways for the MACC Hub platform.
The event will include a hybrid workshop for 1.5 hours, and then will close with networking tea and cake, offering in-person attendees the chance to connect and share ideas in a more informal setting.
Objectives:
Co-design the MACC Hub platform, focussing on climate change and transformational adaptation.
Identify current knowledge sources, user needs, interests, and understanding of transformational adaptation.
Enhance the accessibility of transformational adaptation and climate change information to decision makers.
