 Hello everybody, my name is Alexandra. I work for GIZ Global Project on mainstreaming ecosystem-based adaptation, and GIZ is hosting this year's NBS theme and the CBA. I would quickly like to give you a sneak preview on what's awaiting you during the week of the CBA. As you may have noticed, the NBS theme is focusing on food systems, and here we really want to explore how to redefine the roles of local communities and their implementation and planning of climate change adaptation within the context of the food system. And many organizations have come together and create three really exciting sessions for you. There's one session, the first one on June 15th actually, that will discuss the question, how local communities can be put in the driver's seats to create and support climate-resilient food systems. And that's a session that's prepared by ICAD and by the Instituto de Montaña with contributions from University of Oxford, from the NBS network, from IUCN, and many others. On June 16th, we are going to discuss the question, how to effectively communicate EBA and food security and what tools and methods are actually available to communicate the effectiveness of EBA. You're going to learn about story maps and storytelling and other exciting tools that can be used. This session is organized by Conservation South Africa, TMG, and Water. And then another session on June 16th is about how different knowledge systems can be combined. So the local, the traditional, and the scientific knowledge system, how can they be combined to strengthen a transformation of the food system towards NBS? And its session is organized by the practical action, by the German Aerospace Center and by the University of Uganda and the Hunger Project. So overall, I think the CBA and the NBS theme provides plenty of room to engage with practitioners around the world, and you shouldn't miss it, and we're looking forward to have you there.
