The event will offer short presentations and discussions of case studies of OECMs with different governance models and stakeholders from Canada, Africa, Latin America and Asia.

A local to global, semi-structured panel of human rights and biodiversity experts from Parties, Indigenous peoples and local communities, and other representatives from civil society, and the UN will present and discuss inspiring examples of how a human rights-based approach to biodiversity protection can contribute to and should be part of the successful and equitable implementation of the post-2020 GBF.

This will be a one-hour interactive dialogue between women’s organizations and national governments to learn about their initiatives, lessons learned and practical suggestions to implement both the stand-alone target on gender equality and the post-2020 Gender Plan of Action aiming to contribute toward the success of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. The panel will promote a holistic discussion by bringing in different perspectives shaped by their background, ethnicity, and age, representing diverse geographies worldwide. 

The event will have simultaneous interpretations of English, Spanish and French and will be live streamed through the hosts’ and co-conveners social media channels. The session will also include an open space for the audience to ask additional questions to the panellists and share their experiences.
