HideDescription

Climate change raises essential social issues that directly link governance to biodiversity protection. There is an urgent need to rethink the development and administration of our societies. This Thematic Session proposes to explore how partnerships for biodiversity conservation: 1) generate opportunities for territorial development, in particular in terms of sustainable tourism 2) contain human opportunities for territories (with a focus on water and sanitation issues and women and girls empowerment; 3) are essential to the constitution of structured financial tools geared towards operationalisation. In the presence of : Mr Renaud MUSELIER, President of Region Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur; Ms Andrea MEZA MURILLO, Minister for the Environment and Energy of Costa Rica; Mr Rémi RIOUX, Director General of the French Development Agency
