Third International Conference
on Climate Impacts Assessment (TICCIA)
Welcome to TICCIA: Cairns, Australia
24th – 27th July, 2006
Recent progress in understanding and predicting climate on timescales
from a month to a century, combined with a growing understanding of
impacts of climate, provides opportunities for vigorous cross-disciplinary
research and applications with the important societal goal of reducing
vulnerability to climate variations and change. The Third International
Conference on Climate Impacts Assessment will review our current level
of understanding in climate impacts research and assessment and new
methods for assessing vulnerability and for building resilience and
adaptive capacity both around the world and with a focus on the Pacific
basin. The overarching conference theme is:
Climate Impacts Science: Improving knowledge for adaptation

Goals
- To highlight "bottom-up" (vulnerability) second generation
approaches to impacts/adaptation studies, and to explore how these
can be used in conjunction with scenario-driven "top-down"
approaches to improve our understanding of climate impacts.
- To improve our capability to deal with climate impacts by 'mainstreaming'
climate considerations into management systems, focusing on enhancement
of resilience and adaptive capacity in light of an uncertain future
climate.
- To support efforts by developing countries and those with economies
in transition to adapt to the impacts of climate variability and change.
- To complement and support wider assessment activities like those
of the IPCC and the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, as well as national
and regional-level assessments.
