Deep Time 2029: What must we do in now, in 2021, to successfully address the Nature Emergency by 2050?

IUCN is advocating for a post-2020 framework that halts the net loss of biodiversity by 2030, and achieves recovery and restoration by 2050. A truly global framework for biodiversity conservation must engage and activate all of society; effective implementation will depend on the involvement of all stakeholders / rightsholders. This interactive session will hear views from stakeholders including countries (governments), the biodiversity-related conventions, indigenous peoples and local communities, women, youth, civil society, scientists and the private sector on what needs to be done to develop and implement a framework that halts the loss of biodiversity by 2030, and achieves recovery and restoration by 2050. Partners and participants in the event will be invited to imagine ourselves to be in 2029 and ‘look back’ to 2021 – and determine what practical steps we can take now, in 2021, to ensure that all stakeholders play their part.
