WOTR, IDH and partners had come together to launch a Collaborative to promote Nature-based and Nature-positive Solutions through Ecosystem Based Adaptation for Resilient Incomes. The launch event was taken place on 19th November, 2021. The ECOBARI collaborative has brought together individuals and institutions, representatives of Government, civil society organisations, businesses, academia, financial institutions, funds, NGOs and media to pool in resources – human, material and financial, and empower communities to enhance their income, while conserving the local biodiversity, restoring and sustainably managing their natural resources aligned with the ecosystem they live in. This initiative marked more significance as world leaders and climate change experts have urged positive action on several pressing issues, from emission reduction targets to ecosystems restoration and climate adaptation strategies, at COP26 for operationalising the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. • For more updated information you can visit our webpage wotr.org/ecobari and the membership application form can be accessed here. • • Welcome Address: • 04:39 Jasmer Dhingra, Senior Manager, Landscapes, IDH, The Sustainable Trade Initiative • Inaugural Session: • 12:15 Carlo Fadda, Director, Biodiversity for Food Agriculture, Biodiversity International (CGIAR Research Centre) • 18:48 Ravi Prabhu, Director, Innovation, Investment Impact, Center for International Forestry Research, CIFOR-ICRAF • 23:31 Jigmet Takpa, Joint Secretary/UNCCD National Focal Point, Ministry of Environment, Forests Climate Change(MOEFCC), Government of India • Potential for Upscaling EbA: • 34:56 A Short Film • 39:57 Jes Weigelt, Head of Programmes, TMG Research gGmbH • 48:28 K.J.Joy, Senior Fellow, Society for Promoting Participative Ecosystem Management (SOPPECOM) • 56:52 Marcella D’Souza, Director, WOTR-Centre for Resilience Studies (W-CreS) • Panel Discussion: • 1:14::39 Shanon Olson, Global Director, the echo network • 1:22:58 Milind Mujumdar, Scientist E, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) • 1:29:04 Namita Vikas, Founder and Managing Director, auctusESG LLP • 1:30:40 Ashok Dalwai, CEO, National Rainfed Area Authority (NRAA), Ministry of Agriculture Farmers Welfare, Govt of India • 1:36:00 Sandhya Edalbadkar, President, Jagrut Mahila Samaj • Concluding Session: • 2:18:08 Prachi Shevgaonkar, Youth Climate Advocate and Innovator, Cool the Globe • 02:25:54 Vandana Chavan, Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha, Government of India • Vote of thanks: • 02:32:40 Crispino Lobo, Co-founder Managing Trustee, Watershed Organisation Trust, WOTR
