Description
Can protection of natural ‘buffer’ systems reduce community vulnerability to climate related disasters? Is there a triple benefit to be reaped by doing so in terms of reducing disaster risk, conserving biodiversity and fixing carbon? In this article, Norry Schneider, Anne Hammill and Erika Spanger-Siegfried argue that conservationists have a critical role to play in helping communities adapt to climate change, and outline their efforts to make this a reality.
