Webinar: Natural Resource Management for Biodiversity Governance

When : March 1, 2022

Where: Online

Duration: 90 min

Speakers:  Izabella Teixeira (former Environment Minister of Brazil), Janez Potočnik (former European Commissioner for Environment and Science), Robert Watson (former Chair of Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) and Jyoti Mathur-Filipp (Director of Implementation Convention on Biological Diversity).

Action on the key drivers of biodiversity loss must be taken at upcoming global events – particularly the Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15). Last year, the International Resource Panel (IRP) Co-Chairs Janez Potocnik and Izabella Teixeira outlined principles for halting and reversing biodiversity loss through natural resource management in their opinion piece Building Biodiversity. IRP then facilitated a high-level roundtable, bringing together leaders from global nature, development, and civil society organisations to discuss practically operationalising these principles.

Based on key messages from our Co-Chair piece and group of global leaders, this webinar will give insights on how natural resource management can become a powerful force in implementation of the next global biodiversity targets, to be agreed at CBD COP15.
