Forest-Water Nexus Supporting Biodiversity

Swedish Water House är en mötesplats för innovativt tänkande kring vattenrelaterade frågor, kunskapsutbyte och policyutveckling. Varje år organiserar Swedish Water House seminarier och workshops inom vatten och utvecklingsfrågor. Swedish Water House hjälper också svenska organisationer att arrangera seminarier och att delta i internationella möten.

SIWI Swedish Water House

Welcome to a webinar in which we will explore the linkages between forests, water, biodiversity and climate change.

In the World Economic Forum’s 2020 <a href="https://www.weforum.org/reports/the-global-risks-report-2020" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Global Risks Report</a>, biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse were ranked as two of the most crucial threats that humanity will face in the next ten years. These threats are highly affected by climate change, as species are not able to adapt fast enough to keep up with the changing ecosystems. Both forests and water are essential for biodiversity and climate change: housing diverse ecosystems and regulating climate, ultimately contributing to the resilience of the livelihoods, water and food security of communities. Besides being crucial for both biodiversity and climate change, forests and water are highly interlinked with each other. Trees and forests play a major role in the hydrological cycle, affecting both the quantity and quality, as well as regulating the division between surface and groundwater flows. This webinar will bring up nature-based solutions as ways to enhance biodiversity and mitigate climate change. This is the first in a series of three webinars, hosted by the Forest-Water Champions (FWC), a group initiated by <a href="http://www.fao.org/home/en" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">FAO</a>, <a href="https://www.iucn.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">IUCN</a> and <a href="https://www.siwi.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SIWI</a> and consisting of experts from <a href="https://www.alliance4water.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">AGWA</a>, <a href="https://www.cifor.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CIFOR</a>, <a href="https://www.forest-trends.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Forest Trends</a>, <a href="https://www.globalresiliencepartnership.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Global Resilience Partnership</a>, <a href="http://www.worldagroforestry.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ICRAF</a>, <a href="https://www.iufro.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">IUFRO</a>, <a href="https://www.unenvironment.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">UNEP</a> and <a href="https://www.wri.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw-uH6BRDQARIsAI3I-UdLazCXrYHOuRtI8MHSRi4Od0zewcoGQNGTazq3Li6BsgeeD6IaxgEaAvp_EALw_wcB" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WRI</a>.
