Transformative Change for Nature - Engaging with European Nature Conservation Agencies
How can we jointly achieve transformative change for nature?
This question will be explored on February 21, 10:30-12:00 CET, in a virtual event held by the European Network of Heads of Nature Conservation Agencies (ENCA) and the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN).
The public webinar with the title “Transformative Change for Nature – Engaging with European Nature Conservation Agencies” will introduce the topic of transformative change and spotlight that the European Nature Conservation Agencies stand ready to engage, enter into dialogue and share expertise to help guide and support this process.
Transformative change is defined as a fundamental, system-wide shift in views, structures and practices. Such a transformation is urgently required to halt the underlying causes of biodiversity loss and safeguard our natural life support system.
The event features a keynote by Prof. Karen O’Brien, Co-Chair of the recently published IPBES Transformative Change Assessment, who will present potentials, barriers and strategies for achieving transformative change for nature. Next, speakers will highlight the interest in and commitment of the European Nature Conservation Agencies to supporting the rapidly evolving transformative change agenda, and showcase concrete examples of transformation fields. The following discussion will allow participants to engage and pose questions to the panel speakers
The webinar is open to everyone who is working on transformative change or interested in further engaging on this subject.
