This presentation explores pathways for transforming El Niño-related climate risks into opportunities for building resilient social-ecological systems. Drawing on land health and landscape restoration perspectives, it examines how climate variability, land degradation, and ecosystem vulnerability interact to affect livelihoods, food security, and environmental sustainability. The presentation highlights the importance of integrated landscape management, soil and land restoration, ecosystem resilience, and adaptive governance in reducing vulnerability to climatic shocks. It emphasizes the need for proactive strategies that strengthen the capacity of communities and ecosystems to cope with and recover from climate extremes, thereby supporting sustainable development and long-term resilience in vulnerable landscapes.
