SIDS: Adapting Energy Infrastructure to Improve Resilience
Auditorium Annex 1
Resilient Nature-Based Solutions
Lecture Theater 1 and Multifunction Room 1
How do we best align and integrate ecosystems and natural capital within agendas that have traditionally seen as competing with the environment, such as poverty alleviation, infrastructure development, climate adaptation, and economic growth?
Arvind Kumar
President, India Water Foundation
Resilience, broadly construed as the ability to successfully deal with change, is a characteristic of individuals, communities, and ecosystem., We depend on ecosystems for our survival and in turn impact these ecosystems from the local to the global level. Building resilience into an ecosystem means working to support the health and functions of associated habitats, organisms and processes. For that reason, both the Aichi Biodiversity targets and the Sustainable Development Goals include resilient ecosystems as a key priority for action.
