Regional Online Conference on Safeguarding ICH for Biodiversity Conservation, Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction in East Africa
Within the framework of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, UNESCO launched a pilot project in 2021 to support research and documentation of traditional knowledge systems linked to biodiversity conservation, climate change and disaster risk reduction within seven pilot countries in the Eastern Africa region (Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Seychelles, Somalia, South Sudan, and Uganda). This conference will provide an opportunity for national teams to present case studies on the results of their research as well as for UNESCO partners to share their longstanding programmes and resources. Lastly, recommendations for next steps and future areas for collaboration will also be identified.
