In this session we present examples of what integrated planning looks like and discuss the benefits and challenges to this approach. Speakers present innovative ideas and real-world experiences of integrating climate adaptation into their natural resource planning and management activities. They also share some of the lessons learned and difficulties that they have encountered. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
