Social Dimensions of Climate Adaptation

Klimatilpasning former i stigende grad byer, kyster og hverdagsliv. Samtidig rammer klimarisici og klimatilpasningstiltag ofte forskellige sociale grupper ulige, hvilket rejser spørgsmål om social retfærdighed, sårbarhed og inddragelse.

Denne mini-konference sætter fokus på de sociale dimensioner af klimatilpasning og samler aktuel forskning og kommunal praksis. Oplæggene behandler blandt andet social sårbarhed, borgerinddragelse, inddragelse af underrepræsenterede grupper i beslutnings- og designprocesser samt veje mod mere socialt retfærdig og transformativ klimatilpasning.

Formålet er at styrke dialogen mellem forskning og praksis og at understøtte videndeling på tværs af sektorer og forvaltningsniveauer. Første session afholdes på dansk, og anden session på engelsk. Konferencen afholdes af DNNK (Det Nationale Netværk for Klimatilpasning) og Regions4Climate – et Horizon Europe-projekt, der har til formål at skabe socialt retfærdige og robuste regioner i hele Europa. De danske Regions4Climate-partnere er Københavns Universitet, Kystdirektoratet og VIA University College.

Der vil være oplæg på såvel dansk som på engelsk.

Event Description (English)

Climate adaptation increasingly shapes cities, coastlines, and everyday life. At the same time, climate risks and adaptation measures often affect social groups unevenly, raising questions of justice, vulnerability, and inclusion.

This mini-conference focuses on the social dimensions of climate adaptation, bringing together current research and municipal practice. Presentations address topics such as social vulnerability, participatory approaches, inclusion of underrepresented groups in decision-making and design processes, and pathways towards more socially just and transformative climate adaptation.

The event aims to foster dialogue between research and practice and to support knowledge exchange across sectors and governance levels. The first session will be held in Danish and the second in English. The conference is hosted by DNNK (Det Nationale Netværk for Klimatilpasning) and Regions4Climate – a Horizon Europe project aiming to create socially just and resilient regions across Europe. The Danish Regions4Climate partners are University of Copenhagen, The Danish Coastal Authority and VIA University College.
