CitiesWithNature Webinar: From Global Biodiversity Framework to Local Action

  • ICLEI Oceania Level 8, 225 Bourke Street Melbourne, 3000 Australia (map)

Wednesday June 28th 2023 @1pm AEST

Join us on Wednesday, June 28th at 1 pm AEST, for another exciting CitiesWithNature webinar. Explore the transformative potential of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework for local governments and its practical implications for biodiversity conservation.

During this engaging event, you will learn how to effectively implement global environmental frameworks within a local context. Discover ways to unlock the full potential of your city's natural resources and contribute to a sustainable future.

At the local level, the creation and management of biodiversity corridors and natural assets depend on the expertise and investment of councils, which often face limitations that hinder meaningful outcomes. Our webinar aims to address this challenge by bringing together experts from across Oceania to share strategies and approaches that empower local governments in their conservation efforts.

Joining us to share their insights and challenges are esteemed individuals who bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise. We are honoured to have Cr. Amanda Stone, a dedicated Yarra City Council member and a prominent figure on the ICLEI Global and Regional Executive Committees. Also joining us will be Dr Amy Hahs, the SAFES Director for Culture, Diversity & Inclusion and a Senior Lecturer in Urban Horticulture from the University of Melbourne, who will provide valuable perspectives on the topic. Additionally, we are delighted to welcome Chris Butcher, Senior Sustainability Advisor of Biodiversity at the City of Adelaide, who will share his expertise in creating and managing sustainable and resilient urban environments.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to join the conversation and be part of the global movement towards biodiversity conservation.
