The International Consultation on Biodiversity, Climate Change, and Adaptation concluded here on Monday, stressing the need for drawing up a new action plan on how adaptive strategies can be formulated with effective utilisation of biodiversity.
The programme was organised by the Community Agrobiodiversity Centre (CABC) of the M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) here in connection with its silver jubilee celebrations.
Addressing the concluding session, MSSRF chairperson Madhura Swaminathan said climate change was shaping biodiversity, particularly agrobiodiversity, but how agrobiodiversity was adapted to the changing climate should be studied.
