  • Co-hosted by IUCN and Mission Inclusion, this event will highlight how the Regenerative Seascapes (ReSea) project, supported by Global Affairs Canada, is translating knowledge into action for climate adaptation in the Western Indian Ocean. Drawing on lessons from two years of implementation across Comoros, Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, and Tanzania, the panel will explore how locally led, gender-responsive, and evidence-based coastal Nature-based Solutions (NbS) can strengthen resilience, biodiversity, and livelihoods. It will also discuss key barriers and emerging solutions to scale their impact across the region and beyond.
