The Impacts world 2013 conference aims to develop a new vision for climate impacts research by laying the foundations for regular, community-driven syntheses of climate change impact analyses including adaptation measures and strategies. It will bring together leading scientists and decision makers from local to international levels.

Impacts world 2013 is a discussion-based conference designed to tackle five fundamental challenges:
1. Can we integrate our existing knowledge across sectors?
2. How certain are we?
3. What is still missing?
4. How do we bridge the divide between regional and global impact studies?
5. Is anybody listening?
