Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
21-23 March 2013
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.
