Closing Plenary: Mobilising Nature & Society to address the Climate Emergency – The Way Forward

This closing plenary will take stock of the various climate change-related discussions and events held during the Congress Forum. It will attempt to bring together the common threads identified on this critical issue, and chart a way forward for enhanced ambition and action in 2021 and beyond, including in support of UNFCCC COP26. By bringing together key global leaders from across government, business, Indigenous Peoples and youth, the session will spotlight the growing consensus around the role of Nature-based Solutions in providing a common bridge to address both the climate and biodiversity crises simultaneously, while providing a wide range of other economic, social and environmental benefits.
