SUMMARY:WEBINAR – Insurance solutions as a means to finance wetlands ecosystems
DESCRIPTION:On 30th January at 10:30 CET, NATURANCE and Wetlands International ( https://www.wetlands.org/ ) hosted a webinar ( https://europe.wetlands.org/event/webinar-international-day-for-disaster-risk-reduction/ ) to underscore the role of wetlands in disaster risk reduction to emphasize the need for investment in their restoration. \nWetlands are multifunctional ecosystems playing a critical role in maintaining biodiversity, regulating water cycles and mitigating the impacts of natural disasters such as floods, storms or droughts. The loss of wetlands jeopardizes their ability to provide ecosystem services to present and future generations. Their restoration is thus essential for climate change mitigation, adaptation, sustainable development and disaster risk reduction.\nResearch shows that implementation and maintenance of nature-based infrastructure are often more cost-efficient than alternative grey infrastructure. Despite this growing body of evidence, the lack of understanding of NbS benefits and knowledge gaps about the economic and financial performance of NbS investments continue to impair NbS investments and mainstreaming.\nThis webinar aimed to underscore the role of wetlands in disaster risk reduction to emphasize the need for investment in their restoration. The session explored the role the insurance sector can play, through innovative financial tools, in supporting wetlands ecosystem restoration for a more resilient, sustainable, and biodiverse future.\nRecording\n\nAgenda\n\n10:30 – 10:35: Welcome and introduction to the webinar\n10:35 – 10:40: Keynote by Wetlands International Europe – Chris Baker, Director.\n10:40 – 10:45: Introductory Speech by UNESCO – DRR\n10:45 – 10:55: Presentation by CIREF – Aniela Stachnik Perez, Project Officer\n10:55 – 11:05: Presentation by UNEP Finance Initiative – Verena Kraus, Senior Manager Nature Capacity Building and Insurance\n10:55 – 11:05: Presentation by NATURANCE – Stefano Ceolotto, Environmental Economist and risk analyst at CMCC\n11:15 – 11:25: Q&A\n11:25 – 11:30: Closing remarks\n\n \n\nPress corner\n\nWebinar: Insurance Solutions as a Means to Finance Wetland Restoration – Event Recap ( https://europe.wetlands.org/webinar-insurance-solutions-as-a-means-to-finance-wetland-restoration-event-recap/ ) (Wetlands International website, 13 March 2025)\n\n\n \n
