Add to CalendarMore than 30 years after the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, trust in the impact of environmental policies can only be kept alive if we can finally translate promises into tangible results by breaking down silos. The three Rio Conventions – Climate Change, Biodiversity and Desertification – should be working together to create real change, but reports show that none of these international environmental agreements are delivering on their promises.
While there have been successes that can be celebrated, the big picture shows that implementation is struggling and the results are far from enough.
So, how can we hold decision-makers accountable and ensure that the commitments made under the various conventions translate into meaningful action? What powers do we currently have, or what powers must we build, to influence the decision making and implementation of these Conventions?
What are the conditions needed to ensure the implementation of policies that support people and the planet? What are the barriers that hinder them? These are some of the questions that we will be bringing people together to explore in this digital interactive workshop.
