Please join us as we kick-off the inaugural convening of adaptation

    * Provide a professional development opportunity for the adaptation
      inclined.
    * Contribute to the development of a community of practice around
      climate change adaptation.
    * Create a venue for practitioners to share information, progress,
      and strategies, in order to build the capacity of their community.
    * Supporting on the ground implementation by providing managers and
      regional experts with a venue to exchange knowledge of and tools
      for incorporating climate change into their work.

This professional development event affords attendees the opportunity to 
learn more about how to make their work climate smart, share what they 
have learned with others, and develop a stronger network to be climate
