MACC Hub Webinar Series

Background

The MACC Hub is running a fascinating webinar series that brings together a diverse and impressive line up of speakers from the realms of research, policy, and practice. Each session dives into important topics surrounding transformational adaptation, climate resilience, and the need to bridge knowledge gaps in adaptation across the four nations of the UK. These webinars align perfectly with the MACC Hub’s goal of creating a science-policy connection that drives real, localized responses to climate challenges. Whether it’s sharing valuable insights from MACC-funded projects or encouraging discussions across different sectors, this series serves as a vibrant platform for exchanging knowledge, learning, and collaborative thinking to aid the UK’s journey toward adaptation.
