For life, for the future. Biosphere reserves and climate change: A collection of good practice case studies

Description

The report presents a selection of case studies about good practices in regard to climate change adaptation and mitigation in biosphere reserves. The examples are very varied, from protecting mangroves in Senegal, to climate-adapted agriculture or coastal water management in Germany or to developing adaptation programmes by engaging the local populations in Australia and Colombia.
