Description: Responses to climate change are a topic of much discussion and action at international, national and local levels. While mitigation in the form of emissions reduction and decarbonization efforts tends to steal the spotlight in many arenas, adapting to the effects of a changing climate has become increas-ingly important and relevant. In October 2016, a group of 12 ELEEP members visited London, Brussels and Rotterdam to learn about the challenges and approaches to climate change adaptation in Europe. Site visits and presentations in the three cities covered topics such as local, national, and EU-level adaptation strategies, green infrastructure at the city level as well as grey infrastructure such as storm surge barriers. In this podcast episode, Andreas Graf speaks with 2016-2017 ELEEP Fellows, Andrea Illés and Julia Elkin, about their experiences on the week-long tour as well as their own research and work.
