Building islands resilience – best practices and innovations from around the world

¿Por qué asistir a esta sesión?
This session will highlight and share successful islands’ solutions to strengthen their resilience to climate change and contribute to the planet global conservation, inspiring other territories to replicate the innovative good practices implemented by islands.
HideDescripción
Islands are not only specifically vulnerable to climate change and its impacts, but they are also actively engaged in building their own resilience and contributing to the planet global conservation. This session will gather stakeholders involved in islands resilience and sustainable development. The objective is to highlight and share successful islands’ solutions to strengthen their resilience to climate change. The session will address these issues thanks to a “Bright Spot Café” during which participants will identify islands bright spots and share good practices. The session will specifically emphasize the role of islands communities in finding innovative solutions. By promoting sustainable initiatives implemented by islands during the last Global Biodiversity Framework, this event will increase islands’ visibility as active actors in fighting climate change. The session will also help identify islands’ future challenges that should be included in the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity.
