The Belgian Adaptation Hub organises regular topical workshops to establish knowledge exchange and learning opportunities around existing strengths and bottlenecks of the Belgian Adaptation governance. Key stakeholders include the Federal Public Service Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment; the Flemish Department of Environment; the Belgian Climate Risk Assessment Center (Cerac); the Walloon Air and Climate Agency (AWAC); and Brussels Environment. In addition, relevant topical stakeholders from regional and local authorities, academia, business environment, and interest groups are invited to take part in the workshops. The first workshop has taken place on the 21st of April.

The Belgian Adaptation Hub supports local, regional and national governments in moving from planning to implementation through practical support, peer learning, and proven solutions.
