Introduction
Through
decision 16/13 on mainstreaming biodiversity within and across sectors, the Conference of the Parties has requested the Secretariat to organize a series of webinars to facilitate the exchange of lessons learned on mainstreaming biodiversity across key sectors. Responding to this mandate, the Secretariat is launching a webinar series that will bring together partners, experts, practitioners, and representatives of relevant
communities of practice and existing networks to explore practical approaches to integrating biodiversity considerations into sectoral policies, practices and decision-making processes.
By convening stakeholders from diverse backgrounds and strengthening connections, the webinar series aims to facilitate dialogue, share experiences, and highlight practical tools, solutions and innovative approaches that can support the effective implementation of biodiversity mainstreaming within and across sectors.
The sectors explored through these webinars will focus in particular on those already covered in previous decisions of the Conference of the Parties.
These include:
- Energy and Mining
- Infrastructure
- Trade
- Agriculture
- Forestry
- Fisheries and Aquaculture
- Tourism
- Circular Economy
- Subnational Governments and Local Authorities
- Metrics and Disclosures
- Finance
Future webinars will be announced
here and through the
CBD Meetings page , and will be held online via Microsoft Teams. A calendar will be posted here once the webinar schedule becomes available. Once completed, webinars will also be posted in the
CBD Youtube page.
