Webinar ‘Accelerating Adaptation through Building with Nature in Indonesia’
Date: 19/11/2020
Venue: Online event, by registration
In this webinar we will discuss the highlights from 5 years of Building with Nature in Indonesia, and how this can serve as a lighthouse example for scaling up socially and ecologically inclusive adaptation action!
Indonesia is one of the first countries that embraced the Building with Nature approach, integrating Nature-based Solutions into water related infrastructure. Over 5 years, an inspirational Building with Nature pilot was implemented in Northern Java at a landscape scale aiming to enhance coastal safety and revitalize the local economy.
Wetlands International, EcoShape, the Indonesian ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) and the ministry of Public Works and Housing (PUPR) are pleased to invite you to a webinar ‘Accelerating Adaptation through Building with Nature Indonesia’ taking place virtually as a Zoom Webinar on 19 November 2020.
This event presents the highlights, challenges and lessons learned, and introduces the multi-disciplinary team that designed and implemented the approaches used. We look at replication and spin-off achieved across Indonesia and potential for further upscaling to accelerate adaptation. We will also hear reflections on how the experience from Indonesia can support upscaling Nature Based Solutions globally and inform the way investments are planned, designed and financed.
