Greetings
Nau mai, haere mai, tauti mai!
Welcome to the homelands of Ngāi Tūāhuriri and Ngāi Tahu.
The 8th international Adaptation Futures Conference (AF2025 ) will be held in Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand from 28 Oct to 2 November, 2025 and hosted by the University of Canterbury Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha with regional Oceania and international partners.
Adaptation Futures is the flagship event of the United Nations World Adaptation Science Programme (WASP) and this premier international climate change adaptation conference series enables practitioners, policymakers, researchers and academics from across the world to gather to network, collaborate, learn and inspire!
We are grateful for foundation sponsorship support from Tourism New Zealand, ChristchurchNZ, University of Canterbury Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha, and The Climate Fund of the New Zealand Ministry for the Environment Manatū Mō and New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade Te Taiao. We look forward to collaborating with New Zealand Government agencies, Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), the University of Auckland Waipapa Taumata Rau, Victoria University of Wellington Te Herenga Waka and Lincoln University Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki.
