Climate talks
CLIMATE TALKS is a five-part documentary that aims at better understanding what it takes to adapt to climate change.
The talks help in discovering the experience developed by nature conservation professionals in and around Nature Protected Areas across Europe.
In each episode, there is a conversation with the people who actually plan and implement adaptation measures on the ground explaining how this work brings benefits for climate, nature and people.
The 5 episodes refers to 5 different situations:
- Dynamic nature care, a solution to adapt to climate change? The episode shows as, in the face of climate change, dynamic dune management brings co-benefits for drinking water production, coastal defence and biodiversity while restoring the adaptive capacity of ecosystems and communities.
- Cooperation, a cornerstore for climate change adaptation? The episode highlights how planning for climate change adaptation in the Protected Area also improves the relationship with local stakeholders. Working with fishermen and divers is now a key to successfully conserve marine habitats and adapt to climate change.
- Biodiversity, the foundation for climate chane adaptation?. In this episode you can discover how adapting forest management to imitate the natural evolution can support biodiversity and help develop the robustness of ecosystems to extreme climate events in a periurban context.
- Integrated regional governance, a key to climate change resilience? the video explains how the regional government of the Basque Country is integrating climate change adaptation and biodiversity conservation in its policies to develop the resilience of the region.
- Large scale nature restoration, a solution to tackle climate change? In this final episode, the authors illustrate how partnership of 4 land managers developed a 200-year restoration vision, collaboratively restoring forests, peatlands, rivers and floodplains over 600 km2 in the heart of Scotland.
