Justice for nature defenders, Indigenous finance, territorial governance, and the links between rights and conservation are some of the topics to be spotlighted during the RCF in Mexico City鈥檚 Chapultepec Park, among many others.

Today we begin this Forum in a complex global context that leads us to reflect on the critical environmental and social challenges facing our planet. Our expectations for the outcomes of this Forum are high, as Mesoamerica and the Caribbean have shown to be at the forefront of conservation action, paving the way for the design of innovative and inclusive solutions,鈥 said听Dr. Grethel Aguilar, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Director General.

"Thank you very much for welcoming us to this Union, which I find fundamental for the challenges facing our country, our planet, and, of course, our cities,"听commented Dr. Marina Robles, Secretary of the Environment of Mexico City.

Serving as a space for engagement and dialogue, a key objective of the RCF is for Members to select priorities for the next I, to take place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, in October 2025. As such, the RCF exemplifies 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 democratic and participatory decision-making process. 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Congresses take place every four years, setting the global conservation agenda for the years to come.

The RCF will also feature high-level panels and multi-stakeholder dialogues addressing strategic topics for the region, including climate adaptation through Nature-based Solutions, human rights in conservation and Other Effective Conservation Measures (OECMs).
