Conference: Biodiversity and Health in the Face of Climate Change (27-29 June 2017, Bonn/Germany)


Inwieweit stehen Biodiversität, menschliches Wohlbefinden und Klimawandel miteinander im Zusammenhang? Diese interdisziplinäre Fragestellung steht vom 27. bis 29. Juni 2017 im Zentrum einer internationalen Konferenz in Bonn. Sie richtet sich an Personen aus Wissenschaft, Politik und Praxis.

Dans quelle mesure la biodiversité, le changement climatique et le bien-être humain sont-ils interdépendants? Cette question interdisciplinaire sera au centre d'une conférence internationale se déroulant à Bonne du 27 au 29 Juin 2017, à laquelle des experts de la science, de la politique et de la pratique prendront part.


Latest scientific findings on the impacts of climate change on European biodiversity and links to human health will be discussed. Furthermore, the implementation of nature-based solutions towards health and climate goals will be outlined. Interactive sessions will focus on case studies of successful demonstration projects and lessons learned. Resulting discussions will lead to recommendations for creating synergies between ongoing policy processes, scientific programmes and practical implementation.
The conference is part of a series of European Conferences on Biodiversity and Climate Change (ECBCC). The first conference held in Bonn in 2011, explored options to enhance communication and co-operation between science, policy and practice and identified research priorities. The second conference held in 2013, focused on adaptation of main European ecosystems and led to recommendations for climate change-adapted nature conservation in Europe. In 2015, the third conference discussed the role of nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation in urban areas and their rural surroundings. As a follow up, this year’s conference will highlight the important contribution of green spaces and biodiversity to human health in a changing climate.
The conference is divided into three main areas (day 1: science, day 2: practice and implementation, day 3: policy and economy) and will feature presentations by leading experts in the fields of biodiversity, health and climate change
