It has been one month since COP26. It is sometimes hard to grasp how quickly COP rushes up, and then past, us. Since we returned to our homes, we have been taking time to share, download, debrief, and reflect together as a team and individually. And now we want to share with you!
Youth Reflections on Country Commitments from the UN Biodiversity Summit
On September 30, 2020 countries from around the world convened for the UN Biodiversity Summit. Following on the heels of the #NatureForLife Hub, hosted by the UNDP, UNEP and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, and taking place just weeks after the 5th Global Biodiversity Outlook was released, the theme of the Summit was Urgent Action on Biodiversity for Sustainable Development. This theme was presented as a way for global leaders to present ambitious commitments for biodiversity ahead of the adoption of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, which will focus on action - the strategies and financial requirements needed to turn these commitments into realities.
