Dear Colleagues,
Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) through its
division, Climate and Environment (CBC) would like to invite you to its 6th
webinar on Ecosystem Based Adaptation in the agricultural sectors as means
of up-scaling climate change adaptation in agricultural sectors.
Below is the information regarding the webinar and how to register.
Join us for the 6th webinar of the Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) in the
agricultural sectors.
<http://www.fao.org/in-action/kore/news-and-events/news-details/en/c/1052...
This webinar will focus on “the potential for EbA to build agricultural
livelihood resilience in Dryland Ecosystems”. This webinar will explore the
potential for EbA in building the resilience of agricultural livelihoods in
dryland ecosystems. Dryland systems are the agro-ecosystems characterized
by extreme climatic variability with low and erratic precipitation, water
scarcity and high susceptibility to land degradation, including
desertification, soil erosion and loss of biodiversity. These challenges
are paramount and can result in food insecurity within dryland communities.
To improve the productivity and resilience of drylands, to positively
contribute to livelihood options and adapt to climate change, the
management actions should include the rehabilitation of degraded drylands
and the restoration of ecosystem services. This current webinar seeks to
identify approaches, tools and methods available to promote the
implementation and scaling up of ecosystem-based approaches in dryland
ecosystems; to share lessons learned and good practices generated from the
past and ongoing experience; and to identify opportunities and challenges
for scaling up of ecosystem-based approaches for climate change adaptation
in drylands.
*Presentations and Speakers:*
*A harmonized approach for the valuation of ecosystem services in drylands:
A case study on integrated natural resources management in drought-prone
and salt-affected agricultural production landscapes in Central Asia and
Turkey - the Central Asian Countries Initiative For Land Management
(Cacilm2) *
Sara MarjaniZadeh, Land and Water Officer, FAO and Makhmud Shaumarov,
Project Coordinator, FAO
*Forest And landscape restoration for adaptation in drylands : The Great
Green Wall Initiative *
Nora Berrahmouni, Senior Forestry Officer, FAO Regional Office for Africa
*Ecosystem-Based governance in dryland ecosystems: A case study on
integrating traditional and conventional knowledge in pastoral systems in
Northern Kenya. *
Claire OGALI, Programme Officer, Global Drylands Initiative at
International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
*Moderator:*
Molefi Mpheshea, Natural Resource Officer, Climate and Environment Division
(CBC), FAO
*When? * 9th August 2018
*Time?* 14:00 – 15:30 CEST (UTC + 2)
