Strengthening Sustainable Forest and Ocean Management to Mitigate Climate Change
Session 3 of the UN DESA Global Policy Dialogues for Climate Action
Wednesday, 26 May 2021, 8:00 – 9:30 am EDT
- How do the restoration and protection of forests and the ocean help address the climate change and biodiversity crises?
- How should countries and the private sector best identify, finance and mentor sustainable forest and ocean management systems?
- How do we ensure that sustainable forest and ocean management is inclusive?
Leading voices in the fields of forest and ocean ecosystem restoration and management will discuss practical approaches for using these natural resources in ways that minimize the impacts of climate change, all in the context of recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Cross-cutting issues such as financing, governance, data and leaving no one behind will be part of the discussion.
