A view from the brink – building climate resilience through nature

From community work and local conservation leadership to innovative finance and international markets -  what and who is needed for real impact.

There is a growing recognition that nature has a vital part to play in helping to protect the planet and communities from the spiralling climate change crisis. But what is needed to turn theory into practical change? Fauna & Flora and BirdLife International have come together to lead two sessions that will showcase practical examples of creating climate resilience programmes – from fieldwork to financial institutions. Then the Conservation Leadership Programme will lead an engaging debate on what sort of leader is now needed to navigate successful programmes through an ever-changing political, financial and natural landscape.
