Event of the Nairobi Work
Programme
UNFCCC COP
27, Sharm el-Sheikh |
As part of the work at COP27 by the NWP and its
partners, this event examined ‘Knowledge exchange on biodiversity and
ecosystems for transformative adaptation action,’ hosted by the
Resilience Hub. It built on the previous thematic
discussions on biodiversity and ecosystem at the 14th Focal Point
Forum, COP26. This knowledge exchange identified specific
adaptation practices that can inform regional efforts. These discussions can
also be spotlighted by partners in future Regional Climate Weeks and other
dialogue spaces to inspire ongoing work.
