Eighteenth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses, Rhodes, Greece, 20-22 April 2026

Founded in 2009, The Climate Change: Impacts & Responses Research Network is brought together by a common concern for the science of, and social responses to, climate change. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network, we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Eighteenth International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses calls for research addressing the following annual themes and special focus:

2026 Special Focus—Unseen Sustainability: Addressing Hidden Risks to Long-Term Wellbeing for All

Theme 1: The Nature of Evidence
Theme 2: Assessing Impacts in Diverse Ecosystems Themes
