Date/Time: Tuesday 7th May 2024, (08:00 EDT | 13:00 BST)
Languages: English with French and Spanish Interpretation
Description: ICRI recently released a“Guide for integrating coral reefs and associated ecosystems into NBSAPs” accompanied by 3 case studies from the Philippines, Palau and France. Integrating coral reefs into NBSAPS is crucial for their conservation, protection, and restoration, especially in light of the recent announcement by NOAA and ICRI regarding the fourth global coral bleaching event. The webinar aims to support the implementation of the guidelines – equipping coral reef countries with the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively integrate coral reefs into their NBSAPs, in turn supporting the implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF).
Over the 90 minutes, speakers will showcase the guidance and its contents, including the 3 case studies, as well as financial support for the implementation of NBSAPs and the NBSAP Forum.
