To build back better after COVID-19, we urgently need solutions which tackle the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and societal challenges together. Nature restoration is critical to this effort and has the potential to help achieve the climate targets of the Paris Agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the proposed targets of the Global Biodiversity Framework. This webinar will argue that forest restoration is a central component of a green and just recovery, helping to create the change we desperately need to deliver an equitable, carbon-neutral, and nature-positive future.
Through the experience of BirdLife International and Trillion Trees in delivering forest restoration across scales, panellists will share views on the key principles and best practices needed to design equitable and effective forest restoration; and discuss the political and financial opportunities for integrating forest restoration at the core of a green and just recovery.
We will hear from a suite of speakers from finance, research and non-governmental organisation representatives:
- Dr. Poshendra Satyal, Global Forest Policy coordinator, Birdlife International
- Mr. John Lotspeich, Executive Director, Trillion Trees
- Mr. José Luis Cartes, CEO, Guyra Paraguay & Andrés Bosso, NEA programme Coordinator, Aves Argentina
- Mr. Solomon Adefolu, Lead, Climate Change Programme, Nigerian Conservation Foundation (NCF).
- Ms. Eva Mayerhofer, Principal Advisor, Lead Environment and Biodiversity Specialist, European Investment Bank
