Climate Change, Forests and Food Security
A symposium on “Climate Change, Forests and Food Security’ was held at the headquarters of the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) in Nairobi, promoted and organised by the Italian Embassy in Nairobi and the Italian Cultural Institute in Kenya in association with ICRAF, CIFOR (Centre for International Forestry Research) and Bioversity International. The main goal of the event was for Kenya and Italy to exchange ideas on best practices, with experts from both countries.
An ISPRA expert spoke about the relation between climate change, loss biodiversity and safety food and the opportunity to address the issues using nature-based solutions, including the restoration of degraded ecosystems, coastal habitat reconstruction, agro-ecology.
