From: 23.10.2024 to: 23.10.2024

The event "Global Mountain Governance: Importance for Building Synergies between Biodiversity Conservation and Climate Change Adaptation" will take place on 23 October 2024 from 18.00 to 19.30 in the Blue Zone during CBD COP 16. This session will address the critical need to enhance regional mountain governance and further interregional cooperation, aligning biodiversity conservation efforts with climate change adaptation strategies.

Discussions will focus on creating a roadmap to the COP 30 in Brazil that aims to integrate biodiversity conservation and climate adaptation across different sectors and scales. With mountains hosting 50 percent of the world's biodiversity hotspots and playing a key role in climate regulation, the event will analyse governance frameworks aimed at conserving these ecosystems.

This event is being organized by the Government of Colombia and the Andean Mountain Initiative.
