The climate and biodiversity crises are intimately connected. Meeting the ambitions of the Paris Climate Agreement is dependent on the successful conservation, restoration, and management of biodiversity.
Biodiversity Day aims to advance and institutionalize action towards valuing, conserving, restoring, and sustainably using biodiversity across terrestrial, freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems to reduce climate change impacts and leverage nature-based solutions to mitigate and adapt to climate change and build resilience for people and nature.
Provisional Agenda
Together with opening and closing sessions, the Biodiversity Day flows as a storyline across three key Pillars:
“Present” - the status of the biodiversity and climate nexus and crises
“Hope” - successful solutions providing multiple benefits for nature, climate and people
“Vision” - scaling up urgent action to respond to the climate and nature crises.
