Building climate resilience through natural habitats

Loading Events

Learn how biodiversity and ecosystem strategies can help manage and abate impacts from climate extremes.

Climate projections suggest that climate extremes and natural disasters are likely to become more frequent and/or intense in the coming decades. These effects could damage human infrastructure and threaten ecosystems, biodiversity, and habitation. Building resilience in our ecosystems and biodiversity can help mitigate climate extremes.

Our speakers will discuss the consequences of climate extremes on biodiversity, the use of natural assets and habitats to protect natural ecosystems, and how we can build resilience in our habitats to buffer against climate extremes.
