Description de la séance
As global attention turns from the 3rd UN Ocean Conference (UNOC3) in Nice toward COP30 in Belém, Brazil, the need to center equity, inclusion, and local leadership in ocean conservation and economic development has never been more urgent. This interactive session explores how rights-based, locally led approaches are essential for achieving Global Biodiversity Framework Targets 2 and 3 while advancing climate resilience and mitigation goals. Panelists will demonstrate how secure tenure, Indigenous leadership, and inclusive governance are driving successful restoration and protection of coastal and island ecosystems that deliver dual biodiversity and climate benefits. The discussion will explore how the outcomes of UNOC3 can serve as a springboard for building political momentum and highlight real-world examples of community-centered conservation in action.Speaker
