Science-based targets for Ecosystems in the post-2020 framework for Biodiversity

Why attend
Ecosystems are critical for biodiversity and human health. The planet’s wellbeing relies on having healthy ecosystems, and this session will explore the challenges and importance of defining science-based targets for ecosystems in the post-2020 framework for biodiversity.
HideDescription
This panel will provide an explanation on the various metrics and indices that are being analyzed for their suitability in measuring science-based targets for ecosystems. The panel members will explore which may be more appropriate for determining the targets. As well as, possible ways to collaborate moving forward, combining metrics to provide a more detailed analysis of which areas and actions need to be prioritized to conserve biodiversity and maintain ecosystem integrity.
