UNU-IAS will co-organise a thematic track session at the 2022 International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific (ISAP). The online session will focus on how to effectively translate theories on biodiversity conservation and restoration into practice and their contributions to the post-2020 global biodiversity framework (GBF). It will also discuss the Satoyama Development Mechanism (SDM), a seed funding programme under the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) that supports IPSI member organisations in implementing projects which promote, conserve, or restore socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS).
This event is co-organised in partnership with the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES).
Language
This event will be held in English and Japanese, with simultaneous translation provided.
