Biodiversity provides numerous economic benefits, such as ecotourism, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, but these benefits may be threatened by climate change. Conversely, the
economic costs of biodiversity loss, such as the loss of ecosystem services and the decline of fisheries and forestry industries, can have significant impacts on local and global
economies. This webinar will provide valuable insights and information that can be used to promote sustainable development and more resilient features.

Webinar Objectives:

1. Discuss the economic value of biodiversity and its ecosystem services:
   • Explore the various ways in which biodiversity contributes to economic well-being, including through ecosystem services such as pollination, water purification, and carbon sequestration.
   • Highlight the economic benefits of preserving biodiversity and the potential consequences of its loss.
2. Examine the economic impact of climate change, including its effect on agriculture, infrastructure, and human health:
   • Analyze the economic costs and risks associated with climate change impacts on sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and coastal infrastructure.
   • Discuss the implications of climate-related health issues and the economic burden it places on healthcare systems.
3. Provide participants with a better understanding of the economic benefits of conserving biodiversity and addressing climate change:
   • Present case studies and research findings that illustrate the positive economic outcomes of investing in biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation.
   • Emphasize the potential for green job creation, sustainable economic growth, and improved livelihoods through nature-based solutions.
4. Share examples of successful policies and strategies that integrate the economy of the value of biodiversity & climate change in decision-making processes:
   • Showcase policy frameworks and initiatives that incorporate economic considerations into decision-making related to biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation.
   • Highlight innovative strategies that incentivize sustainable practices and provide economic incentives for ecosystem conservation
