Migratory Species and Climate Change Expert Workshop

The location on the map is approximate!
Description: 

The CMS Secretariat, together with the Government of the United Kingdom, is organising an expert workshop on migratory species and climate change. The meeting will take place in person from Tuesday 11th to Thursday 13th February 2025 in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Virtual participation is also available.

This Workshop is held under the auspices of the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS).  It implements the Decision14.214 i) of the Fourteenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to CMS (COP14) to convene an international in-person workshop on migratory species.

The workshop will consider elements identified by COP14 under Decision 14.214 b)-h) on the basis of an update of the report ‘Climate change and migratory species: a review of impacts, conservation actions, indicators and ecosystem services’ published in 2023.  The workshop will focus on:

  • Identification of migratory species likely to be negatively impacted by climate change, especially those that are in need of human-mediated interventions, such as translocations
  • Discussions around species that have a high probability of changing their migration routes because of climate change, and the connectivity options available to them
  • Case studies of the role of migratory species in maintaining and enhancing climate change mitigation and adaptation, as well as other related ecosystem services
  • Solutions to the issues, and actions that could help migratory species shift ranges (e.g. Nature-based solutions  and Ecosystem-based adaptations), as well as synergies (alignment with Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework), gaps and priorities for action. 

The meeting will be held in English only.
