Climate Ministry Hosts Seminar on Adapting to Climate Change

On 16 June, the Climate Ministry will hold a seminar titled "Adaptation is not an option, it is a necessity". The event will address climate projections, fire risk map data, and adaptation needs across multiple economic sectors.

The Climate Ministry is hosting a seminar on 16 June 2026 focused on how Estonia's various sectors should adapt to climate change. The event's title, "Adaptation is not an option, it is a necessity", makes it clear that adaptation is no longer a future concern but an urgent need of the present day.

The seminar will present climate projections describing the climate and environmental changes that Estonia faces. The programme will also include a presentation of a fire risk map, which provides an overview of the location and extent of wildfire risks stemming from climate change.

The discussion will cover adaptation needs across several key sectors: forestry, water management and agriculture, urban planning, and other important areas. The goal is to provide both decision-makers and specialists with a comprehensive picture of what changes must be anticipated in the future and what steps should be taken today.
