Braiding Time, Space, Knowledge, and Values

May 28 – 29, 2026

Halifax, Nova Scotia

Join CLIMAtlantic for two days of connection and sharing to grow climate resilience in the Atlantic region. This conference will bring together climate change adaptation practitioners, knowledge holders, community leaders, policymakers, engineers, academics, youth, artists, and more. 

We will explore the following themes throughout the conference:

  • From response to readiness
  • Letting nature lead
  • Aligning with social, economic, and environmental priorities
  • Avoiding and addressing maladaptation
  • Adaptation as an ongoing, evolving process

Enjoy engaging workshops, hands-on activities, panels, and talks focused on climate risks, adaptation and resilience and approaches, and case stories across the Atlantic region. You’ll leave with practical tools and resources for building connected resilience as well as a broader network and opportunities for further learning.

Registration will open in January 2026 and a call for speaker interest will be sent out in fall 2025.
