During this two-day interactive seminar, EUROPARC and NaturAdapt teams will present a prototype of the methodology and tools developed for climate change adaptation planning in protected areas. Together, participants will discuss the opportunities to innovate as well as their needs in terms of political support to tackle the challenge of adapting to climate change in Europe’s Protected Areas.
