About this event

  • Event lasts 3 hours

The European Union faces increasing climate-related challenges, making water resilience essential to preserving biodiversity, sustaining agriculture, and adapting to climate impacts. The European Biodiversity Conference, "Enhancing Water and Land Resilience," will address the urgent need for sustainable water management as the region faces severe droughts, floods, and ecosystem degradation.

Aligned with the EU's Strategic Agenda 2024-2029, this conference brings together policymakers, environmental leaders, and community stakeholders to discuss:

  • Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) that support biodiversity and manage water sustainably.
  • Policy integration across agriculture, energy, and regional development to build cohesive water resilience.
  • Investments in innovation such as water-efficient irrigation, precision agriculture, and integrated pest management.
  • Collaboration between public and private sectors to advance green infrastructure, pollution control, and conservation.

Join us to explore funding strategies, policy improvements, and collaborative solutions to secure a sustainable future for Europe's water and land resources.

Event Details:

  • Date: December 10, 2023
  • Time: 10:00 AM - 1:30 PM

We look forward to your participation in this vital conversation.
