Closing Plenary: Global Action to Conserve Freshwater

Why attend
Come hear about key recommendations for tackling the challenges of preserving freshwater resources emerging from the Forum discussions.
HideDescription
Harnessing the power of the collective inputs into the Forum, the Plenary will review recommendations from the Forum discussions and structure these into key actions for the post 2020 discussions, CBD Kunming, the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, UNFCCC, and the SDGs. The closure will analyze how the challenge of preserving freshwater ecosystems for people can be met, without compromising the conservation of the species and the ecosystem services they provide, but being compatible with energy, food and water demands. Solutions will require the participation of all sectors of society.
