Recent evidence of biodiversity collapse in the Mediterranean region : Which solutions to implement ?

Pourquoi assister à cette session?
What is the state of biodiversity in the world's second largest biodiversity hotspot? What are the most serious threats? Which solutions are effective and which ones need to be implemented urgently ? Tour du Valat and SPA/RAC will answer these questions through the presentation of the Living Med Report and post-2020 Strategic Action Programme.
HideDescription
We face unprecedented global environmental challenges that are a clear consequence of the growing human population's demand for resources. The Mediterranean basin, a region of the world where natural resources have ensured the prosperity of societies for millennia, must also face these new challenges. The future appears even more uncertain here than the global average due to the combination of more rapid climate change and stronger anthropogenic drivers of environmental degradation. We have the necessary tools to protect our environment, however time is running out. Tour du Valat and SPA/RAC are joining forces to provide new scientific evidence of the collapse of Mediterranean biodiversity. This unambiguous statement calls for cross-sectoral policies that place healthy ecosystems as the foundation for sustainable development. Solutions to be implemented in the coming years will be discussed, focusing on the restoration of marine and coastal ecosystems.
