Background
The biodiversity, conservation, and climate change crises are basically connected and more integrated approaches are required to address their solution with innovations and better life for future generations. To take forward the interconnected factors behind them, Nature- based Solutions (NbS) can play important role in protecting, sustainable management, and use of natural features and processes to handle socio-environmental issues such as biodiversity loss, food security, water pollution, water, and energy scarcity, human health, climate change, and disaster risk management.
The one-year delay in the 2020 Conferences of Parties to the UNFCCC and the CBD caused by the COVID-19 crisis provides a unique opportunity to bring new scientific advances to notify and strengthen the links between international agendas and their national implementation. To facilitate the alignment and better understand the potential synergies between these agendas, there is a need to assess the role that achieving biodiversity conservation targets can play in efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
With the increasing number of climate-related hazard occurrences due to climate change, such as floods and landslides, flash floods, whirling wind, drought, and land/forest/bush fire, and tropical cyclones, disaster events with severe impact in the tropical countries have been more and more observed resulting in more serious damage and losses biodiversity and infrastructure. Recently due to the changing pattern, Indonesian tropical cyclone has evolved to become an emerging threat. In 2015, Indonesia recorded 1,664 hydro-meteorological disaster events, while in 2018 the number doubled to 3,810 events. In 2021, hydro-meteorological disasters accounted for 99% of the total recorded 2709 disaster events.
The indications towards the trend of climate change are quite clear; climate change mitigation efforts are still facing various global economic and political challenges, while its impact is increasing. It interferes significantly with welfare development in developing countries. This is exacerbated by patterns of physical-social-economic development that do not pay attention to sustainability principles (environmental-socio-economic), and land use patterns, both because of the pressure of economic needs on the grass-roots scale, and the MNC (Multi-National Company) business scale, and currently being made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic situation which has changed our socio-economic-political and technological way of life.
Indonesia is also the largest archipelagic country globally with 17,504 islands, and 23% of are found in West Papua. Climate related hazard and disaster impact adversely affects agriculture, fisheries, coastal zones, water resources, health, and ecosystems and thus threaten communities in geographically remote areas in the outer and isolated regions of the country, especially in small islands, in terms of economy and degradation of natural resources.
The poorest populations, who live in small island communities on remote outer islands, often on lands that are prone to flooding due to heavy rainfall, abrasion, landslide, flash flood, and tropical cyclones, are among the most vulnerable groups. This is because, they used to live on subsistence-farming and fishing for their livelihoods, have limited access to education and health facilities and lack the financial capacity (savings, insurance) to cope with climate-related hazards and disaster. In eastern Indonesia, gender suffers more from climate extremes, because they tend to depend more on natural resources for livelihood and subsistence, and are vulnerable to gender-based violence in the aftermath of disasters.
Responding to the above need, the Post Graduate University of Papua, in collaboration with the Parties, is organizing an international seminar focusing on biodiversity, conservation, and climate change in tropical countries. It is expected that national and international experts and practicians will participate in the seminar to share their knowledge and experience, thoughts, and opinions on how to implement NbS based on indigenous people and local communities and climate conventions to mitigate, adapt, prepare and build resilience to climate-related hazards in line with sustainable development goals (SDGs).
