Policy Event

Monday, March 28, 2022

15:00 - 16:30 (CET)

This event brings together agriculture and nature conservation experts to discuss the role of the agricultural sector in the fight against biodiversity decline.

A post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework is to be adopted when the fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity takes place in May 2022. Building on the UN’s Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, the new framework will respond to the ongoing biodiversity decline and aims to transform society’s relationship with biodiversity and to achieve a shared vision of living in harmony with nature by 2050.
Sustainability in agriculture features in the second action target, referencing conservation work and the sustainable use of biodiversity and increasing the productivity and resilience of these industries. We will not reach these global biodiversity goals without the active involvement of the food and agriculture sector. This event will bring together agriculture and nature conservation experts to discuss the role of the sector in the fight against biodiversity decline.
