SUMMARY:From Research to Resilience: Climate-smart solutions to enhance ecosystem health and strengthen food\, nutrition and water security for all
DESCRIPTION:About the webinar series: \nInformed by the experience and insights of WLE and its partners\, and the solutions the program has developed and refined over the past decade\, eight webinars will promote promising scientific innovations designed to protect climate-vulnerable ecosystems\, communities\, and livelihoods. The tools and approaches to be discussed – which also prioritize the inclusion of women\, youth\, and other marginalized groups – target critical challenges across the Global South such as land degradation\, water scarcity\, and climate variability. \nHeld strategically between the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) and the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26)\, the webinars will identify evidence gaps\, capture lessons learned\, and consolidate thinking on the future direction of research for development to sustainably transform our water\, land and food systems. Themes include accelerating clean energy access\, inclusive and gender-sensitive land restoration\, resilient urban food systems\, sustainable water management\, disaster risk management\, and innovative approaches to evaluate ecosystem health and monitor landscape restoration. \nVenue: \nZoom Webinar (videos will be made available on the WLE website after the sessions) \nHosts: \nCGIAR Research Program on Water\, Land\, and Ecosystems (WLE) \nProgram: \nWebinar #1 – Tuesday\, October 5\, 2021\, 8.00 AM EST\, 2:00 PM CEST\, 5:30 PM IST (1 hour) \nAccelerating clean energy access in rural areas \nPresenting WLE energy research that can help countries enhance smallholder access to clean energy\, address climate adaptation/mitigation challenges\, and transform food\, land\, and water systems. \nRegister for the webinar \nWebinar #2 – Thursday\, October 7\, 2021\, 8.00 AM EST\, 2:00 PM CEST\, 5:30 PM IST (1 hour) \nDrought and flood risk reduction strategies \nIntroducing several WLE-supported risk management initiatives and solutions that have been implemented across South Asia.
