Dialogue: Environmental human rights defenders in the pandemic: the Geneva Roadmap & strengthening 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 action
香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 CEESP Virtual Dialogues to #BuildBackBetter
Faced with the deteriorating situation of environmental human rights defenders during the pandemic, how can the conservation community respond more effectively? Specifically, how can the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Secretariat, membership networks and partner efforts be mobilized and strengthened?听
There is now a strong call in the conservation community to ensure that the protection of environmental human rights defenders is at the heart听of the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. The 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 network has a clear role to make this happen - not least through the World Conservation Congress, where a resolution will be tabled.听Several听Congress events, resolutions and activities address the needs and rights of environmental human rights defenders. How to respond effectively in a context of uncertainty?
This webinar brought together environmental defender voices, conservation organizations and others with high level participation of the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders, Ms. Mary Lawlor, and听香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Regional Director for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, Dr Grethel Aguilar.
