From Awareness to Action SBSTTA#25
10 months after the KMGBF adoption, the international biodiversity community met in Nairobi to discuss how to facilitate its implementation. The 25th meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice – SBSTTA – included technical sessions and side events on a variety of topics, such as invasive alien species assessments, the multiple values of biodiversity, sustainable wildlife management or the IPCC report. Our project focused on showcasing stakeholder’s essential contributions and needs in terms of funding and capacity to contribute to KMGBF implementation.

Sustainable cities webinar : rethinking the resilience of tomorrow’s urban areas
Today, almost 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas: a number expected to rise to 70%-80% by 2050. Sustainable cities involve a real political project, which must drive policies for urban development and provide access to infrastructure and services in health, education, transport and other sectors.
Considering the high stakes of urban planning, Expertise France organized a Webinar on October 18 as part of its now-regular Rendez-Vous de l’Expertise.
