A World Environment Day Screening & Discussion of “Kiss the Ground”
Hybrid Event, 07/06/2021
With less than 10 years left to shift the path of our planet to combat climate change, the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration calls to prevent, halt, and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every continent and in every ocean.
On World Environment Day, join the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to mark the launch of the UN Decade by viewing an exclusive screening of the critically-acclaimed environmental feature documentary “Kiss the Ground," and joining a virtual discussion about the film.
You are invited to watch the documentary anytime between June 5-7 and join the interactive panel discussion with experts and featured guests from the film on Monday, June 7 from 11 am – 12 PM EST. This session will highlight innovative ways regenerative agriculture is reviving ecosystems around the world and how you can be part of the movement.
