The 7th Nordic Conference on Climate Change Adaptation (NOCCA2025) takes place on 14-15 May 2025, at the Lappia Hall in Rovaniemi, Finland. The conference is part of Finland’s presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.

NOCCA2025 is a pivotal conference dedicated to exploring the limits of climate adaptation in the Nordic region. Set in the breathtaking landscape of Lapland, the event will address critical adaptation challenges for ecosystems, natural resources, and the livelihoods of indigenous and rural communities. By bringing together leading experts, policymakers, and industry representatives, NOCCA2025 provides a unique opportunity for knowledge exchange and collaboration to advance adaptation science and practice. The full conference program will be available in April.

The conference aims to shape a more resilient future by fostering dialogue and cooperation across sectors. Key insights from NOCCA2025 will be presented to the Nordic Ministers for Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MR-FJLS) in June 2025, ensuring that discussions contribute to policy development. Additionally, a policy brief summarizing the conference outcomes will support Nordic adaptation initiatives in preparation for major global events, including ECCA25 and COP30.

Registrations are open until 22 April. Book your spot!
