Description
The purpose of this workshop was to share experience on how working with nature can help society as a whole to tackle the causes and effects of climate change, provide examples of where this is already happening in practice and lessons that can be learnt, and to contribute to the rapidly growing debate on the role of biodiversity and ecosystem services in framing and implementing climate policy. In particular we wanted to focus on activities in Europe as we feel that there is still too little recognition that working with nature is not just a concept relevant for addressing biodiversity loss and climate change in developing countries.
