Drawing on CI's field experience and scientific and policy expertise, staff members from nearly 15 countries are participating in the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP 17) of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change in Durban, South Africa to inform and advise national governments and key stakeholders on the role that natural ecosystems must play for effective climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Building upon a strong foundation of science, partnership and field demonstration, CI empowers societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature, our global biodiversity, for the well-being of humanity.
