The University of Minnesota Climate Adaptation Partnership (MCAP) has hosted a Minnesota climate adaptation conference since 2013, designed to bring together representatives from the public, private and nonprofit sectors to inspire and enable climate adaptation in communities throughout Minnesota. This year, in collaboration with regional and national partners, we will build on past conference success and expand our efforts to host a broader Midwest Climate Resilience Conference. The conference will serve as a regional adaptation forum in alternate years of the National Adaptation Forum for community leaders, policy and decision makers, resource managers, researchers, and others working actively on climate adaptation and resilience.

We have learned that there is no substitute for in-person learning and networking opportunities. The Midwest Climate Resilience Conference will provide a unique opportunity to:

• Share your expertise, research, and learn from others

• Catch up with colleagues 

• Meet other climate adaptation and resilience practitioners in the region

• Identify opportunities for collaboration
