Workshop series European biosphere reserves

Ecological situation and the sustainable economy

From 2019 to 2021 the Succow Foundation organised three workshops about current issues of the ecological situation and the sustainable economy in European UNESCO Biosphere Reserves. Manager and employees of biosphere reserves in Europe came together to strengthen their network within the UNESCO Man and Biosphere Program (MAB). The aim of the project  was to support the implementation of the MAB strategy 2015-2025 and the Lima Action Plan of the UNESCO-MAB-Program in Europe and to facilitate an exchange and network of the European Biosphere Reserves about common topics. In three interactive workshops local challenges on ecological problems in European biosphere reserves were discussed and concreted recommendations for action as well as methods and approaches are to be developed.
