The outlook for biodiversity at a global and local level

What Does it Mean for Future Planetary Protection?

In this webinar, we look at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) latest biodiversity assessment and discuss the transformations needed to protect and secure the benefits this biodiversity provides us.

We also hear how indigenous peoples and local communities are working to support the CBD’s goals, and we'll discuss what all this means for the new global targets governments are set to agree to next year when they meet in China.
