Lakes Conference 2023
Lakes, Wetlands and Natural Climate Protection in the UN Decade of Habitat Restoration
Thursday, 19 January 2022 from 10.00 to 17.00 in Berlin
in bUm - Betterplace Umspannwerk, Berlin, Paul-Linke-Ufer 21
We cordially invite you to the Lakes Conference 2023. Too little attention is still paid to lakes, wetlands and their catchments as carbon sinks and biodiversity hotspots. Lakes continue to be overexploited, peatlands drained and wetlands not rewetted as required. With the Lakes Conference 2023, we want to strengthen the focus on these valuable habitats and at the same time broaden the perspective for contributions to natural climate protection in Germany and beyond.
The conference will consist of two parts. In the first part, after an introduction from the perspective of Berlin politics, research results on climate change and lakes and the Action Programme Natural Climate Protection will be presented, followed by considerations from a global perspective on lake biodiversity in the context of climate change.
After a break, the second part of the conference will present projects on natural climate protection in lakes and wetlands in Germany. More detailed information on the venue will be provided in good time.
The Lakes Conference is organised by the Living Rivers Foundation in cooperation with the Global Nature Fund, the Living Lakes Network Germany and the GRÜNE LIGA. The 19th meeting of the German Lakes Network will take place on 20 January 2023.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you there.
