The International Resource Panel-IRP (hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme) and Youth & Environment Europe will organize a webinar on June 24th to start a dialogue around biodiversity issues between young people and both IRP Co-Chairs, Izabella Teixeira (former Minister of Environment, Brazil) and Janez Potocnik (former European Commissioner for Environment and Science).
As policymakers prepare for the CBD COP 15 (Kunming, 11-24 October 2021), these science-based principles can help them move beyond pledges and commitments, and take action that we can soon see working in the natural world. Sharing lessons from their past and present roles, and based on powerful scientific evidence from the IRP, the Co-Chairs urge Parties to push for a bold global agreement on biodiversity targets. Countries must use natural resource management approaches to acknowledge, understand and address the direct and indirect drivers of biodiversity loss for climate, nature and socially just economic and social development.
