Panel Discussion On Ecosystem-based Adaptation investment to reduce disaster risk, 06 December, Venue: Rio Pavilion.

The objectives of the panel are to share on-the-ground evidence of the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Eco-DRR work and identify partnership opportunities which bridge the biological diversity, climate change, and DRR practitioner communities.
Synthesis report on experiences with ecosystem-based approaches to climate change and to climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction
Published by the Secretariat of the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD) together with other stakeholders, this report provides a synthesis of global experiences to ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) and ecosystem-based DRR. It includes key findings from the CBD Technical Workshop held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in October 2015, where a range of experts and practitioners discussed national and regional efforts towards implementation of EbA and Eco-DRR measures.
