The island hosts the CLIMA International Conference on 17 and 18 October on climate change and biological corridors
Fuerteventura will host the CLIMA 2024 International Conference, which in this edition addresses the issue of Climate Change and Biological Corridors, bringing together an important cast of scientists and specialists on October 17 and 18 at the Technology Park.
The Island Council and the Fuerteventura Biosphere Reserve, as organisers of the Conference, reaffirm the island's commitment to protecting the environment and promoting global solutions to face climate challenges and the conservation of biodiversity, at a particularly sensitive and critical time.
Registrations to attend can be made through the link on the website of the Conference www.fuerclima.com and the Biosphere Reserve will also certify face-to-face attendance at the event, underlining the importance of active participation in this key conference for the future of our planet.
The President of the Cabildo, Lola García, points out that our geographical position between three continents gives us an open, supportive and dialoguing personality with our environment, especially at times like this, when our neighbors are suffering the effects of the climate in their lives, with droughts, decreased food production and the increase in pests. For this reason, we periodically convene scientists and policy makers to reflect on the impacts that are occurring on biodiversity, especially on marine biodiversity, and on the need to seek global tools to prevent its loss, developing proposals aimed at joining efforts and wills and reversing the local effects of global phenomena that affect the planet. such as the Global Biological Corridors.
For her part, the Councillor responsible for the Biosphere Reserve, Marlene Figueroa, stresses that, since its declaration, the Fuerteventura Biosphere Reserve has shown constant concern for Climate Change and the loss of the planet's biodiversity. Firstly, because it is an island, which places us on the front line of the adverse effects of global warming, especially those related to rising sea levels; and secondly, because Atlantic Macaronesia is part of a biogeographical region that we share with our Portuguese brothers in the Azores and Madeira and with the people of Cape Verde, which preserves an extraordinary and unique biodiversity, both terrestrial and marine, which is at risk due to extreme phenomena derived from the changes that are occurring in an accelerated manner in the climate.
