29 September-1 October 2010, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The conference will focus on the most recent scientific information about climate change and adaptation, on policy issues and international cooperation. An important event during the conference is the launching of the Delta Alliance: an international alliance promoting effective cooperation among deltas in their efforts to manage existing and new challenges. The ‘Connecting Delta Cities’ network, which started at the C40 conference in Tokyo, will play an important role in the development of this worldwide cooperation. During the conference it will present their progress in several sessions. The call for papers will be sent out in October 2009. Two days of the conference will be dedicated to science, one day to policy issues and international cooperation between Delta institutions. The conference pursues three main goals: 1. exchange of up-to-date top science on climate change and delta planning 2. strengthening of international cooperation between deltas and delta cities 3. exploring and strengthening the links between science, policy and practitioners at international level
