This first National Adaptation Forum aims to convene and engage multiple perspectives, either across sectors, geographies or stakeholders (e.g. national, tribal, regional, state, local, private, non-profit, educational) in order to develop a program that provides guidance through the steps of the adaptation process, as well as across the spectrum of adaptation activities in the United States today. This interactive conference takes place in Denver, CO, from April 2-4, 2013.  NAF is now accepting session proposals & presentation abstracts.
