PEMSEA Collab Event 2021 - Sustainable Interactions with Marine Ecosystems

20 October 2021
Location: Virtual

Join us to discuss how the research of the GCRF Blue Communities programme addresses:
 

  • Ecosystem services from natural capital in the Southeast Asia region
  • Links between the marine coastal environment, ecosystems and human health
  • Predicted changes in marine resources due to climate change and how to prepare for them
  • Trade-offs between conflicting demands on marine resources from different users
  • Strategies for effective communication with and engagement of stakeholders


The event will be organized by the GCRF Blue Communities programme office and will comprise a series of short presentations and panel sessions by project partners from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam and the United Kingdom.
 

Building on the Hub Session delivered by the Blue Communities team during the PEMSEA EAS Congress held during November 2018 in Iloilo, this Collab Event will provide an opportunity to share the findings from the research focusing on populations and ecosystems in and around designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserves and a Marine Park, to demonstrate our pathways to impact, and to disseminate the underpinning research approaches that can support marine planning in the Southeast Asia region


Event Date: 20th October 2021
