During the 21st October, there will be workshop sessions in the scope of the NetBiome-CSA. For more details about this subject, please contact with Pablo Chavance pablo.chavance@
Four challenges were outlined for this meeting to conciliate conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in tropical and subtropical ORs and OCTs of Europe, facilitators indicated in brackets:
1. Integrated Biodiversity Conservation through spatial planning (Vanessa Weck- Regional Council of Guadeloupe)
2. Sustainable agriculture and forestry practices (Josiane Irissin-Mangata- Regional Council of Réunion)
3. Sustainable management and effective conservation of biodiversity (Soraya Sierra - Naturalis Biodiversity Centre)
4. Knowledge-based decision making in marine and coastal issues (José Azevedo - Fundo Regional Para a Ciência)
During this day of workshop, the Net Biome project partners will be attended on one of these four workshops according to their field of expertise. Among the aims of this day workshop, two are of particular importance :
- to build communities of involved actors around specific topics from ORs and OCTs
- to formulate research recommendations in forthcoming research calls (H2020, ERA-Nets.) dedicated to European ORs and OCTs.

"Co-organized by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the European Commission, the French government, Guadeloupe’s Regional Council (Guadeloupe Region), the government of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Guadeloupe conference will be held from October 22nd – October 25th 2014. The Guadeloupe 2014 Conference is a high level international meeting on biodiversity and climate change in the European Outermost Regions (ORs) and Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs), and in the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) of the same geographic areas.
EU ORs and OCTs are home of 5.8 million European citizens, these populations are particularly dependent on healthy ecosystems for their livelihood and adaptation to climate change. Hosting 80 % of the European biodiversity, 6 % of globally threatened species, 7 % of coral reefs the ORs and OCTs are of international importance.
Found in every ocean of the world, the EU Overseas can serve as strategic getaways to innovative solutions in terms of climate change adaptation, sustainable development and global environmental governance. Supporting EU Overseas actions gives a real leverage opportunities, particularly for regional cooperation."
It is in this framework that our project MOVECLIM is set, uniting 5 ORs (Azores, Canarias, Réunion, Guadeloupe) and 1 OCT (French Polynesia) with the aim of better understanding the effect of climate change on montane vegetation, which hosts a unique and diverse flora in these island systems.
A poster presenting our project will be exhibited during this international conference, where 200 participants are expected.
