Dear Readers, I thought I'd share some recent work from ND-GAIN's Sarah Senseman to identify upcoming climate adaptation, climate resiliency and/or climate preparedness conferences (take your pick of the term-du-jour). There's a bias towards city or urban-related events in this list, based on my current interest. Let me know if I am missing something!
