Nature for Life Hub: Toward a Decade of Hope & Transformation
Humanity must urgently transform its relationship with nature if we are to avoid potentially catastrophic environmental, economic and social consequences for future generations, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) warned as it launches registration for its three-day virtual "Nature for Life Hub."
This unique virtual event will take audiences on thematic journeys for a deep dive into specialist topics such as sustainable food production, transforming finance, and ecosystem protection, and will explore some of the practical solutions and ambitious actions that are paving a path toward a nature-positive future. Participants will include representatives from governments, international organizations, civil society, academia, local and indigenous communities and the private sector, with the aim of agreeing on a common agenda that lays the foundations for a 'decade of hope and transformation' for humanity and the environment.
The opening session will be held on the 22nd September as a United Nations General Assembly High-Level Side Event. Participating world leaders will be invited to discuss advances in meeting their commitments to protect the environment, and to build on those commitments with bold, new pledges.
The second part of the Hub, a three-day virtual series of events, produced by UNDP, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), with other partners, will be broadcast from October 4th through 6th.
