Webinar: ''Women Securing the Future of Biodiversity''' on 21 May 2021
The planet is facing mounting crises: from COVID-19 to climate change to mass biodiversity extinction. It is time to listen to the powerful voices of leaders who are on the frontlines of these crises: women. Studies have shown that women’s leadership is critical to long-lasting and innovative solutions to environmental protection, but gender equality is still far off. During the event women leaders and their allies across the environmental movement, scientists in the field, indigenous communities, and global political voices will reflect on the transformative changes that give hope for a better future.
The event is organized by the First Vice President of Costa Rica, Epsy Campbell, Planet Women, FAO and IMPACTA under the framework of International Biodiversity Day. The discussion will be led by participants of Sustainable Agriculture Network (Red de Agricultura Sostenible), Forestry and Climate Change Fund, FAO, Planet Women and women leading biodiversity management and conservation initiatives in Africa and Latin America.
