The "Climate Forum Switzerland - Dealing with Climate Change" is an information and networking event on climate related topics in Switzerland. The focus is on dialogue and networking between research, administration and practice.

The Climate Forum Switzerland was created by merging the NCCS Forum and the Symposium on Adaptation to Climate Change. The event is organised under the umbrella of the NCCS by the Federal Office for the Environment FOEN, the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss as well as other members of the NCCS and ProClim.
