Natur’Adapt Online Seminar
Exchange on the results of the LIFE Natur’Adapt project discussing case studies from Protected Areas & European and regional strategies.
Climate Adaptation and Biodiversity Conservation
Priorities and measures to improve planning and management in Protected Areas
How can we develop integrated approaches among different governing levels to improve climate change adaptation?
What strategies and methodologies to improve planning and management?
How can we integrate adaptation priorities with biodiversity conservation objectives and measures in Protected Areas?
We will explore this considering the results of the LIFE Natur’Adapt project, case studies from Protected Areas and current policy priorities and developments at regional and European levels.
We aim to exchange with decision-makers at all levels, organisations working on environment, biodiversity and climate change, Protected Areas networks and managing authorities.
