Cofunded by the European Union

The 6th edition of Europe’s Climate Change Adaptation conference, ECCA 2023, takes place from 19 to 21 June 2023, and will be held in Dublin, Ireland.

The Joint Programme Initiative “Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe” (JPI Climate), together with the MAGICA project, supported by the European Commission, is organising this edition of ECCA. It will be an in-person event over two days for up to 500 people with live streaming of all plenary sessions and interactive hybrid formats.

The registration for the ECCA Conference “Actionable knowledge for a climate resilient Europe” is now open. The ECCA Conference is a joint initiative between the JPI Climate “Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe” and the MAGICA project, supported by the European Commission. The goal of the conference is to inspire adaptation by showcasing solutions, exchanging knowledge, creating connections, and encouraging dialogue on how to act more and faster at every level. The thematic areas addressed by the conference include: 

  • Stepping up climate action: support through climate platforms and services.  
  • Adaptation responses to sea level rise and coastal change. 
  • Nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation.   
  • Preparing for more frequent and severe climate extremes.  
  • Reframing societal transformation by challenging underlying assumptions.  
  • Climate and social resilience of future energy infrastructure and systems.  

Special registration discounts are available until the 28th April.  Online participation is also possible for some of the sessions.

The Water4All Partnership - Water Security for the Planet - is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth.

It is co-funded by the European Union within the frame of the Horizon Europe programme (a key funding programme for research and innovation). The Partnership duration is for seven years from 2022.

The Water4All objective is to enable water security at a large scale and in the long term. Its goal is also to tackle water issues in a holistic frame. 

All forms of life on earth need water. All human activities operate with this resource. Water is part of our everyday life. It is also integrated within urban and countryside landscapes. It is one of the most valuable elements we share with plants and animals.

These simple facts must be kept in mind to understand the Water4All ambition.

This resource is weakened in many places due to climate changes, and human habits. We know that we can improve the way we use water. Everyone has a role to play and especially the scientific research community.

Scientific research is the heart of the Partnership as It is a powerful tool to improve knowledge on preserving, restoring, and managing this essential resource. 

International cooperation is also needed as water has no borders on Earth and runs from one country to another.

Water4All brings together a broad and cohesive group of 90 partners from 33 countries in the European Union and beyond. This consortium gathers partners from the whole water Research, Development and Innovation (RDI) chain.
