On 8 December 2022, the UNU Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) will co-organise “Exploring Nature-positive Pathways” — a side event at the UN Biodiversity Conference (CBD COP15). The event will explore how a whole-of-society approach to biodiversity governance is essential for realising transformative change. It will discuss the findings of a new report “Exploring Nature-Positive Pathways” with representatives from municipalities, the private sector, and the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI).

Participation

The side event is open to attendees of COP 15. It will be held in IGOs Meeting Room 514B.

Programme

Visit the UNU-IAS website for updated programme details as they become available.

Organisers

The event will be co-organised by the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency; Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI); Capitals Coalition; the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI), whose secretariat is hosted by UNU-IAS; and the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI).

Background

One of the new dimensions of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework is its emphasis on whole-of-society approaches for biodiversity policy. Scaling up action for nature by non-state and sub-national actors (e.g. cities, regions, companies, NGOs, and indigenous peoples) provides an important opportunity for realising transformative change.

The “Exploring Nature-Positive Pathways” report by PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency discusses various pathways to achieve global goals for biodiversity. It shows what the pathways towards a nature-inclusive world may look like, and what governments can do to build on the efforts made by civil society actors for the benefit of nature.
