ABOUT NOCCA
Why NOCCA2025?
At the heart of NOCCA2025 lies a critical question: What are the limits to adaptation in the Nordic context? Set against the stunning backdrop of Lapland, this conference will dive into pressing adaptation challenges and opportunities for ecosystems, natural resources, and the livelihoods of indigenous and rural communities.
Our Mission
To advance the science and practice of climate adaptation across the Nordic region through collaborative efforts and open dialogue. Join us in shaping a resilient future for our communities and ecosystems.
Who will Attend?
NOCCA2025 is the forum for Nordic researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, and community representatives. Whether you’re from academia, local government, national authorities, business, or NGOs, this conference offers a unique platform for knowledge exchange and peer learning.
Conference Outreach
The key messages from the conference will be presented in conjunction with the meeting of Nordic Ministers for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MR-FJLS), scheduled for June 11-12, 2025, in Kuopio. The policy brief summarizing the conference outcomes will support Nordic adaptation initiatives, particularly in preparation for the ECCA25 conference (June 16–18, 2025) and COP30.
