Linking the Climate Change Adaptation, Tropical Forests and Biodiversity

Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and Tropical Forest and Climate Change Adaptation (TROFFCA)

Location: 325, 3rd floor, Collegium Maius

The aim of the side event is to highlight the role of tropical forests for climate change adaptation including the co-benefits and lessons learned as they relate to managing forests and biodiversity. Contributions from research activities will provide examples to illustrate the multiple ways forests serve for adaptation to various climate impacts. To achieve this, we propose to use the ‘speakers’ corner approach to encourage interactive learning and personal networking. Posters will be used in this process. This will be followed by a general discussion whereby questions will be directed to each presenter to analyze the poster in more detail.
