Still more to come – Day 3 at #ECCA2025!

Our third and final day goes straight into the first of 18 parallel sessions today, starting at 09:00-10:30. Details of each session to help you make your choices are on our website.

There is then a break followed by:

11:00-12:00 EXPLORE AND CONNECT

A welcome opportunity to slow down, recharge and build meaningful interactions. This interval is designed to foster dialogue, spark new ideas and experience ECC2025 through reflection, creativity and human connection.

Foyer: Immersive experience with Salomé Bazin’s "Destination Earth" performance.
Art exhibition from Roberto Ghezzi’s "The Greenland Project", a 2022 artist residency in Greenland.

Yoga Room: Pause, breathe, move. A fully equipped room to restore your body and mind.

Booth Area: Your final chance to take advantage of the ECCA2025 showcase of the impactful initiatives, institutions and projects across Europe. Discover cutting-edge work in climate change adaptation, all in one place.

12:30-13:30 and 14:30-16:00 PARALLEL SESSIONS

From ‘Mental health and climate change’ to ‘Earth Observation for urban climate adaptation’ strategies; ‘Resilient Shores’ to ‘Bridging the adaptation finance gap’ there are more valuable and insightful sessions to join. Take your pick using the website programme.
