In the face of escalating climate change impacts, resilient adaptation strategies are crucial. Recognizing nature-based solutions, especially ecosystem-based approaches, as pivotal for fortifying resilience, combating climatic risks, and aiding communities in adapting, this event invites participants to share collective expertise. The event will advocate for the cost-effectiveness of nature-based solutions in addressing climate resilience challenges and stress their economic benefits. It will also showcase cutting-edge climate adaptation practices, like paludiculture on formerly drained peatlands.
