NAP Expo - Advancing National Adaptation Plans post-Paris
Climate Analytics’ Olivia Serdeczny gave a keynote presentation on climate impacts at the annual National Adaptation Plan Expo, 11-15 July in Bonn, Germany.

On the invitation of the Least Developed Country Experts Group (LEG), Climate Analytics’ Olivia Serdeczny contributed a keynote presentation at the annual National Adaptation Plan Expo, 11-15 July in Bonn, Germany.
Olivia’s presentation on the latest science on climate impacts provided a framing and general idea of climate risks, to set the direction of thinking about climate risks in the context of adaptation planning. It included the projected climate impacts at different levels of global warming from the recent World Bank Turn Down the Heat report series, written by Climate Analytics and the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research (PIK).
