Virtual
Adaptation and Biodiversity Law: Archived Talks

On June 3, 2009 the
Environmental Law Institute hosted an International
Roundtable Discussion on the question posed in the
subject heading: “What does adaptation to climate
change mean for biodiversity law?” This discussion
is part of an ongoing project at ELI to identify
options and make recommendations for countries
seeking to build adaptive capacity into the
governance of their biological resources. Working
with environmental law and policy experts from

Tropical Cyclones/Hurricanes and Climate Change Forum

environmentalists, government officials, free
market thinkers, and insurance
representatives. We anticipate lively, yet
constructive discussions focused on solutions based
strategies to natural disaster risk mitigation and
how best to balance the needs of communities with
the protection of sensitive ecosystems (and
hopefully some great angles for your blog posts).
The topics are quite timely as we’ve just entered
the Atlantic hurricane season and many important
environmental and social challenges need to be
addressed by the nation.
