Plenary Panel Session:
Adaptation planning starts with the science, but that science is complex, ever-changing, and uncertain. How is sea-level science used today in planning, what challenges do practitioners face in that use, and how are coastal climate services evolving to better connect “actionable science” to on-the-ground action?

Invited talk: Adam Parris, Deputy Director for Climate Science and Data Services, New York City, USA
Invited talk: Abby Sullivan, Senior Advisor for Climate Science and Risk Communication, City of Philadelphia, USA
Invited talk: Gordon Smith, Director of Planning, Province of Nova Scotia, Canada

Plenary Panel Session:
We are beginning to see adaptation action, i.e. measures implemented on-the-ground to maintain or create resilience to rising seas. This session will include jurisdictions that have put in place adaptation measures to sea-level rise and describe how they got there.

Invited talk: Nobuyuki Tsuchiya, Japan Riverfront Research Center, Tokyo, Japan

Plenary Oral Session:

This is the final session (part 1) – to facilitate the fully hybrid approach, we will also have an online document where all registered participants can write during the conference their views and comments – speakers will need to look at this before their presentation on Friday and may wish to discuss with others during the conference. The document will remain open until the following Monday to facilitate input from other time zones.

25 minutes plenary discussion, starting with WCRP representatives (Heiko Goelzer, early career scientist)

Chaired by Roderik van de Wal
Speakers: Ivan Haigh, Kathy McInnes, Tamsin Edwards (10 minutes each)
