Conference 2023
Why Biodiversity and Sustainable Development?
Mainstreaming biodiversity is no longer a luxury but an urgency. It has become imperative to integrate actions or policies related to biodiversity into broader development processes or policies such as those aimed at poverty reduction, growth, or tackling climate change. The theme of biodiversity and development cuts across disciplines and sectors, and calls for capacity building , especially in LMICs which also stand to be most impacted by biodiversity degradation.
