An online session on “Landscape Approaches for Biodiversity, Climate Change and Sustainable Development Co-benefits” will be co-organised by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and the IPSI Secretariat at UNU-IAS on 2 December, 11:00-12:00 (JST), during the International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific (ISAP) 2021. With the backdrop of the IPBES-IPCC co-sponsored workshop report highlighting the interdependence of biodiversity and climate change, the session will bring together speakers with hands-on experiences from SEPLS across the world, and explores transformative actions for biodiversity, climate and sustainable development co-benefits that we should focus on in “the decisive decade for sustainability”. This session will include a keynote and framing presentation on biodiversity-climate nexus in SEPLS, followed by presentations of two case studies and a panel discussion.

Further details of the session will be provided on the ISAP website in due course. Please keep an eye out for updates.
