Background
|
|
|
|
The COP at its seventeenth session (Decision
6/CP.17) requested the secretariat to organize a technical workshop on ecosystem-based approaches
for adaptation to climate change, in collaboration with Nairobi work programme partner organizations
and other relevant organizations, before the thirty-eighth session of the Subsidiary Body for
Scientific and Technological Advice.
The workshop took into account the role of ecosystems, including forests, in adaptation;
vulnerability and impacts in ecosystems; the implementation and benefits of ecosystem-based
approaches for adaptation; and lessons learned, including through the three Rio Conventions.
The workshop was informed by:
-
Compilation of information on
ecosystem-based approaches to adaptation (FCCC/SBSTA/2011/INF.8)
- Information contained in Annex I to the report of the SBSTA on its thirty-fourth
session (FCCC/SBSTA/2011/2)
and subsequent views of Parties.
The workshop included indigenous and traditional knowledge and practices for adaptation and
gender-sensitive tools and approaches as cross-cutting issues.
