Workshop in the Royal Academy for Nature Conservation

The overall objective of altogether three consecutive workshops is to improve knowledge and management skills of executives and employees of institutions, that are entrusted with the management of protected areas, in regard to increasing the resilience of protected areas and their role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. The target group acquires knowledge of possible scenarios, impact and consequences of climate change on protected areas. The workshops are intended to develop management plans and strategies in order to effectively and equitably manage protected areas and to increase the resilience of these areas in times of climate change as well as to secure the long-term financing of these areas which form an important source of livelihood for the local population. The workshops provide an excellent opportunity for practitioners from different countries to exchange experiences and to build a network beyond national borders.
