In 2022, over 100 nations signed the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), committing to protecting 30 percent of the world’s biodiversity by 2030 and to restoring the integrity, resilience, and connectivity of natural ecosystems globally by 2050. Our challenge is critical and urgent with only five years left to meet our 2030 targets. What are we getting right? How do we scale and adapt these solutions across North America to meet the seriousness of the moment? What gaps must we fill, and what barriers must we overcome? In addition to focusing on science to meet our climate and biodiversity targets, can we repurpose our economic system to enable dramatically better, faster, and more conservation for the benefit of our communities now and for generations to come?
The 2025 Symposium will explore how we can track our progress toward our collective biodiversity goals and how we might evolve the structures and dynamics of our social and economic systems to ensure long-term natural security and socioeconomic stability. We will invite speakers to tackle the difficult questions we must grapple with to build a future that’s fair for everyone on a finite planet.
Don’t wait, the registration price will increase after Friday, January 31, 2025.
