About
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Secretariat of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, Ramsar Regional Center – East Asia (RRC-EA) and Wetlands International (WI) have collaborated on developing guidelines on Wetlands and Eco-DRR (Wetlands and Disaster Risk Reduction: A Guide for Wetland Managers) with an Asia and Pacific focus to disseminate it to support the implementation of Resolution XII.13 and integrate Eco-DRR in their Ramsar wetland management plans. With the view of disseminating the key concepts of the guideline, the collaborating partners organises a global webinar on the 15th of December 2022, 11:30 – 13:00 CET.
The webinar highlights the importance of wetlands in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction with a particular focus on the Asia Pacifica region and the countries identified as vulnerable to climate change.
