EC - EIB Adaptation Days 2025

EDHEC Climate Institute and EDHEC Business School have partnered with the European Commission and the European Investment Bank to host the EC - EIB Adaptation Days 2025. 

This event is organised under the auspices of the UN Oceans Conference and will focus on the critical theme of Coastal Resilience. It will provide a key platform to address coastal resilience challenges and financing strategies for climate adaptation. The discussions will bring together policymakers, financial institutions, and experts to explore innovative solutions to mitigate the risks of sea-level rise and extreme climate impacts.
