SEMINAR IN READING: INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY FOR ADAPTATION TO<br />
CLIMATE CHANGE – SYNERGIES, GAPS, CONFLICTS AND INCENTIVES<br />
On 18 November 2008 the Royal Commission hosted a seminar at the Innovation Centre in Reading <strong>to</strong><br />
gather views from interested parties relevant <strong>to</strong> deciding the scope of the adaptation study. The seminar<br />
involved around 50 participants, including officials from UK governments, academics and researchers,<br />
and representatives from non-governmental organisations and industry.<br />
Participants worked in small groups <strong>to</strong> identify a range of issues relating <strong>to</strong> the three chosen exemplar<br />
areas (biodiversity, nature conservation and protected areas; sea level and coastal zones; freshwater)<br />
and then explored the roles of institutional ac<strong>to</strong>rs within these areas in greater detail.<br />
A report of the seminar is available on the Commission’s website at http://www.rcep.org.uk.<br />
