By Our ReporterSHILLONG, Jan 29: Shillong will host an international conference titled “Scaling Nature-based Solutions for Himalayan Resilience” on January 30–31, 2026.
The conference will focus on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) as integrated approaches to address climate change, biodiversity loss, and livelihood security in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions.
Discussions will explore strategies to scale up NbS through stronger policy alignment, institutional frameworks, financing mechanisms, technology, and partnerships.
Meghalaya’s experience with landscape-level initiatives such as MegARISE will be highlighted, alongside ICIMOD’s regional work under programmes like HI-REAP.
The conference aims to generate actionable pathways for Meghalaya, policy recommendations for the Himalayan region, and stronger regional collaboration on mountain resilience.
