● Adaptation cases studies: organisational, sectoral and regional
● Monitoring and measuring adaptation
● Impact and effectiveness studies
● Role of tools and knowledge in adaptation
● Communicating impacts, vulnerability and adaptation

Science sessions: Latest results from research are presented and discussed.
Practitioner sessions: Case studies of climate change adaptation in action are presented and discussed.
Common sessions: Sessions in which both scientists and practitioners present and discuss common issues related to risks, uncertainties, costs and benefits, options and strategies.
Science-practice interactions: Researchers and practitioners work together on resolving an adaptation challenge defined by a decision-maker or practitioner.
