Nature-Based Climate Solutions
Conference
The 12th International Flora Malesiana Symposium and the International Nature-Based Solutions Conference (NBCS) will take place in Manokwari, Indonesia, from July 21-26, 2025. This joint event will bring together leading scientists, policymakers, Indigenous leaders, and conservation practitioners to explore the critical role of biodiversity and nature-based solutions in addressing climate change and sustainable development.
Flora Malesiana, established in 1989, serves as a key platform for documenting and classifying plant diversity across the Malesian floristic region, which includes Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. Research highlights West Papua as one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, yet many species remain undocumented, limiting their role in conservation planning and sustainable development.
The Nature-Based Climate Solutions Conference will showcase how biodiversity conservation, forest protection, and sustainable land-use management can drive both climate resilience and economic progress. With a focus on carbon markets, conservation financing, and Indigenous-led natural resource management, the event serves as a crucial stepping stone towards COP 30 in Brazil, where commitments from Tanah Papua’s governors will be presented on the global stage.
