UNESCO is organizing an online event entitled “Our Planet, Our Future: 50 Years of UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere programme – On the way to Kunming” on March 24th, 2021 from 1 pm to 5 pm.
The year 2021 is a crucial year for biodiversity, during which new objectives and new commitments will be made for the coming decade. UNESCO, as a laboratory of ideas and a guardian organization of knowledge and know-how respectful of biodiversity, has an important role to play in helping to shape and fuel a dialogue on environmental challenges and their implications, both ethical and for peace in the world. This is the goal of its Biodiversity Forum to be held online on Wednesday 24 March 2021. The Biodiversity Forum will welcome prestigious guests from all over the world and various actors committed to the benefit of biodiversity.
The event will be live streamed here in English and in French.
