The Closing Plenary is underway & began with the impressive impact of Landscape Architect Bas Smets in Paris to turn dissolute urban areas into nature-filled & welcoming public areas #UrbanLanscape #NbS #ECCA2025

How can cities protect those most at risk from extreme heat? 🥵🌆 At #ECCA2025, speakers from Germany, Hungary & Slovenia shared real-world tools, from shaded route apps to school co-design. Local action, anchored in smart governance, is key. 🌍🔥 #HeatAdaptation #UrbanResilience

Guess what they are doing during the #ECCA2025 conference

Plenty to take in on Day 2 of #ECCA2025 – strong focus on turning knowledge into action. Resilience, climate security, adaptation finance, citizen assemblies… All pointing to the same thing: we need joined-up thinking and practical tools to drive real change. But adaptation isn’t just about infrastructure – it’s about people. #Physiology shows us how climate impacts the body, and that insight is crucial for effective action. 🏝️And Day 2 finished with a great dinner on the beach.

"Investments yield not only a positive financial return, but also a significantly larger environmental & societal impact return" Linda Romanovska, University of New South Wales, addressing adaptation finance gap is paramount in tackling climate change #ECCA2025 #Finance

Effective engagement with citizens & stakeholders has been a recurring #ECCA2025 theme & 1 of our final workshops is looking at this from the perspective of vulnerable groups, private sector & local authorities #Engagement

Guess Who? Presenters at the #NbS session got interactive, quizzing audience to test their understanding. A fun reminder that active listening might be the 1st step to solving challenges! #ECCA2025 #Tricky

The #ECCA2025 workshop room has been busy all 3 days, including this morning where "Strategic R&I priorities for climate adaptation to inform climate action and policies" put delegates to work

You can't talk about climate adaptation without #CulturalHeritage! At #ECCA2025 we heard insights from #JPICulturalHeritage & #ARCHE on building resilience in coastal & mountain regions #NbS #TraditionalKnowledge @HeritageR_Hub

Instead of "Do we need to pay for adaptation" ask "What kind of city do we want to see in the future?" - insight from Michael Mullan of @OECD in 'Fostering an EU Enabling Ecosystem to Close the European Adaptation Finance Gap' #ECCA2025

Nearly 40% of EU member states have revised & adopted national adaptation strategies in last 2.5 yrs, Germany is 1st with measurable adaptation strategies - Hans-Martin Fussel @EUEnvironment #ECCA2025 #ClimateAdaptation

He discovered a little-used word 'Respair' - the return to hope from despair

Ben Norris, Queensland Uni, is studying best practice mental health services in response to climate change impacts: 'being just hopeful can be counter-productive ... provide opportunities - 'Active Hope' #MentalHealth #CimateAnxiety #ECCA2025 @UQ_news
