Please save the date and join us for two days bringing together the UK climate impacts, risk and resilience communities to discuss the latest research from across the UK.
Building on the Success of previous national meetings – including last year's meeting  hosted by Professor Dann Mitchell in Bristol – the 2026 conference will provide an opportunity to hear about cutting-edge research on both the regional and national scale. The meeting will:
  • offer space to explore how the climate science community can contribute cohesively to major assessments, such as the fourth UK Climate Change Risk Assessment & the Well Adapted UK report due to be launched in Summer 2026.
  • broadly align with climate impact, risk & adaptation research across sectors including Built Environment, Economy, Infrastructure, Land, Food and Nature, Health and Wellbeing.
  • welcome research from all disciplines. Contributions, scales and research are not restricted to UK case studies.

Abstract Submissions

We are now welcoming abstract submissions in all areas related to climate impacts, from across all disciplines and sectors.

Contributions are not restricted to UK case studies, and we actively encourage submissions from early career researchers. Please complete the form below to register your interest and submit your abstract.

Abstract Submission Form

The deadline for abstract submission is midnight, 14th June 2026, and you’ll be notified by the end of June as to whether your abstract has been accepted.

Please feel free to share this call for abstracts within your network.
