ISAP 2023: SEPLS Management as Integrated, Inclusive and Localised Actions towards a Nature Positive Society

2023.12.14

Date/Time: 29 January 2024/ 14:00 – 15:30 JST

Venue: Online

Socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) are dynamic mosaics of habitats and land/sea use that provide the goods and services needed for human life while being managed to maintain biodiversity. On 29 January 2024, UNU-IAS and the IPSI Secretariat will co-organise a thematic track session at the 2023 International Forum for Sustainable Asia and the Pacific (ISAP) focused on how SEPLS can promote integrated, inclusive and localised actions towards sustainable societies, particularly those that are “nature positive” and oriented towards biodiversity conservation and restoration. It will also discuss the Satoyama Development Mechanism (SDM), a seed funding programme under the International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI) that supports IPSI member organisations in implementing projects which promote, conserve, or restore socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS). 

This event is co-organised in partnership with the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES).
