In collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), this webinar will launch a new sub-series within the Common Approach to Biodiversity Webinar Series, focusing on the incorporation of human rights-based approaches to biodiversity conservation. The sub-series aims to build capacity on and promote human rights-based approaches to the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of biodiversity, and the equitable sharing of the benefits from its utilization; promote awareness and implementation of the Common Approach in the UN system, as well as exchange and disseminate best practices and lessons learned from actions that consider rights-based approaches for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity.
Webinar Objectives:
- Present the importance, opportunities and existing gaps for the incorporation and implementation of human rights-based approaches for the conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of biodiversity.
- Recognize the Common Approach potential to guide UN collective action to mainstream biodiversity and nature-based solutions, considering a human rights-based approach and including common UN messaging on human rights and biodiversity for COP16 to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
- Set the tone and expectations for future sessions in this webinar series.
More events in this sub-series will follow later in the year.
