Talking global science, policy and innovation: UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Why now? What’s next?

This participatory plenary was framed around the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, the Paris climate goals and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, all of which call on the global community to ‘bend the curve’ on these critical issues. Key global policy makers, scientists as well as business and community leaders informed the audience about plans in place for the new decade, and engaged in critical discussion. Through constructive debate, the session explored how the new policy frameworks can spark a vivid societal dialogue, consolidate next steps and pave the way for direct global action from individuals, civil society, local authorities and the global business community.
