Unlocking a Nature-based Recovery: how to rebuild after the pandemic

HideDescripción

The impacts from the Covid-19 pandemic have exacerbated poverty, inequality and environmental challenges around the world and are expected to continue. Channelling investments towards nature and nature-based solutions is imperative for countries and communities to overcome these impacts. Despite many calls for green recovery, nature and biodiversity are so far mostly absent from economic recovery programs, raising serious concerns regarding the sustainability of the post-pandemic economy. This High-level Dialogue on Nature-based Recovery will invite leaders from government, finance and civil society to explore how economic recovery can be geared to ‘building back better’ and ensuring greater economic and environmental resilience for all. Key questions addressed include: What must be done so that nature is not left behind? What must different actors commit to? How do we enable developing countries to be part of the solution towards green recovery? What is the role for private sector?
