VI MFW - Plenary Session 2
Forest-based solutions to adapt the economic sector and people to climate change at the landscape level. Plenary Session 2.
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are defined by IUCN as “actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural or modified ecosystems, that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously providing human well-being and biodiversity benefits.” These solutions refer to the sustainable management and use of nature for tackling environmental and societal challenges, including issues such as climate change, water security, water pollution, food security, human health, and disaster risk management.
This session will present forest-based solutions to achieve the goals of international commitments by focusing on landscape approaches that connect the forests to other sectors. The solutions presented will involve, for example, forests and water (including erosion by water), forests and agriculture (including pasture lands and livestock), forests and cities, and forests and biodiversity. These solutions may be implemented in the framework of forest and landscape restoration, biodiversity conservation, and adaptation to or mitigation of climate change.
The session will focus on prominent case studies (either success stories or failures) exemplifying how stakeholders concretely addressed problems: What was the issue at stake and what solution was found? How much did it cost and what was the financing scheme? What was the impact on local governance? Lessons learnt for the case studies and the capacity of sharing the experience with other countries will be addressed. Trans-boundaries case studies will be favored.
The Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), is hosting the Sixth edition of the Mediterranean Forest Week (VIth MWF) at the Grand Hills Hotel, Broumana, on 1–5 April 2019. The weeklong event brings together policy and decision makers, forest administrators, researchers, practitioners, donors, civil society organizations, and social and environmental based non–governmental organizations to share and promote the use of forest–based solutions to assist Mediterranean countries in the implementation of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement.
