What: UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Partnership for Environment and Disaster Risk Reduction (PEDRR) launched a new Massive Open Online Course (MOOC): Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for Disaster and Climate Resilience.

Join for an exclusive dialogue with Latin American leaders in discussing the role of promoting Nature-based Solutions for disaster and climate resilience in Latin America and the Caribbean.

Special guests:

• Karen Podvin, Climate Change Program Officer, International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
• Cesar Garay, Professor, Pontifical Xavierian University, Colombia

Moderator:

• Manuela Fernandez, Expert in Disaster Risk Reduction, Member of the Latin American network of PEDRR

This is the fifth ‘Virtual Coffee with Changemakers’ webinar as part of the launch of our course on Nature-based Solutions for Disaster and Climate Resilience.

Over 12,000 participants from 180+ countries have joined our course to learn more about how investing in Nature is investing in climate and disaster resilience!

 I'd like to thank PEDRR, UNEP, and SDG Academy for offering this course on Nature-based Solutions for Disaster and Climate Resilience. Nature itself has an infinite number of its own mechanisms and solutions to deal with climate change adaptation. I recommend it to anyone who is willing to learn more on how to tackle various types of disasters and climate change challenges through NbS.
