WOTR, IDH and partners are coming together to launch ECOBARI, a Collaborative aimed at promoting Ecosystem Based Adaptation for Resilient Incomes. ECOBARI will bring together individuals and institutions, representatives of Government, civil society organisations, businesses, academia, financial institutions, funds, NGOs and media to pool in resources - human, material and financial, and empower communities to enhance their income while conserving the local biodiversity, restoring and sustainably managing their natural resources aligned with the ecosystem they live in.

This initiative takes on even more significance as world leaders and climate change experts gather to discuss several pressing issues, from emission reduction targets to strategies for climate change adaptation and restoring ecosystems, at COP26 for operationalising the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
