To conclude the first week of lecture seminars at Bonn University IUCN’s Ali Raza Rizvi featured as keynote speaker at a talk on establishing standards and criteria for ecosystem-based adaptation projects. The talk as well as the panel which followed introduced methods for developing criteria which can help quantify valuations for EbA projects, and produce a shift from project based solutions to a process based solution. Michael Beck from The Nature Conservancy demonstrated a model showing potential for $625 million in avoided flood damage through adaptation projects in 12 east coast states. Katherine Blackwood also presented her recent project, which has identified 20 specific criteria which can be used to evaluate EbA projects. Mr. Raza Rizvi concluded his discussion by reminding the audience that climate change is a moving target, and adaptation can never be the goal, but only a means towards sustainable development.
