How to Ensure a Resilient Global Biodiversity Framework to Disaster and Climate Risks?

January 20, 2022

This event, co-convened by FEBA with the Partnership for Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction (PEDRR) and the Geneva Environment Network, focused on the importance of integrating resilience in the Global Biodiversity Framework – together with the need for greater alignment with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the Paris Agreement and the new Glasgow Pact –prior to the final face-to-face negotiations of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

The event covered:

Increasing disaster and climate risks globally and how they impact biodiversity and ecosystems, and the importance of integrating resilience in the new Global Biodiversity Framework;
Country level experiences on how biodiversity and ecosystem-based approaches have been successfully applied to reduce disaster risks and support climate change adaptation;
Proposed recommendations for incorporating disaster and climate resilience in the new Global Biodiversity Framework.
