Why attend
The COP30 Brazilian Presidency, in collaboration with the Climate High-Level Champions, has included a dedicated axis on 'Stewarding Forests, Ocean and Biodiversity' within its COP30 Action Agenda for Belém. This session will provide the latest update on its key objectives, the progress being made, and how those interested can engage.
Session Description
The first Global Stocktake of the Paris Agreement clearly underscored the urgency of halting and reversing nature loss in advancing global climate action. Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer one-third of the mitigation potential required to meet 2030 climate goals while strengthening adaptation and resilience. The COP30 Action Agenda aims to advance the implementation of scalable, inclusive, and high-impact solutions across forests, oceans, and biodiversity systems through a dedicated axis, key objectives and activation groups, which will be presented at this session. Inputs will be sought from participants to identify successful models and financing mechanisms for forest conservation, marine restoration, and biodiversity protection, and on Indigenously-led and locally anchored approaches, which can contribute to the COP30's 'Granary of Solutions' in this important area.Partners
