MAIN PANELS

The Sharm El Sheikh and Kunming-Montreal Agreements confer
legitimacy and responsibility on the three basins of biodiversity
ecosystems and tropical forests to establish a model of global
governance and governance rules.
11h – 13h
The Coalition of the 3 basins would endorse the main strategic and
operational objectives of the United Nations’ Decade on the Restoration
of Ecosystems by adopting a 2025 – 2035 work program, composed by
regional and global investment portfolios. A block funding mechanism
will ensure the collection and distribution of funds to the three basins to
nance the programs of each basin.
11h – 13h
The establishment of a global and sustainable nancing mechanism for
the three basins presupposes setting up reliable and predictable
sovereign carbon market o ers, a solid and long-term sovereign carbon
market demand, and mobilizing the capital market to pre nance a
bankable sovereign premium carbon market.
11h – 13h
The conclusions of the United Nations are unanimous and unambiguous about the criticality of biodiversity ecosystems and tropical forests
and the preeminent role of science in nding solutions to increase the
e ectiveness of initiatives and resources allocated to the preservation
and restoration of ecosystems.
11h – 13h
Reintegration of climate and biodiversity into a global framework
requires reconciling the two themes within international regulatory
bodies, work and cooperation programs at the ecosystem level, and
nancing methods by multilateral and bilateral donors. Only this
multipolar convergence will ultimately make it possible to bring together and address these two issues that are now distinct but tomorrow
integrated.
11h – 12h
Global Platform for Civil Society and Indigenous Community
Partner: UNICN (United Nations Indigenous Peoples’ Partnership)
Civil society mobilization and engagement will be at the heart of the
process of creating the Three Basin Coalition of Biodiversity Ecosystems
and Tropical Forests, as well as its implementation plan.
11h – 12h
Global Strategy for Local Action
Partner: UCLG (United Cities and Local Governments)
The commitment of local authorities to the management of biodiversity
ecosystems and tropical forests requires the establishment of a platform
of local authorities, bringing together representatives from the three
basins. These discussions will be open and will address issues of inclusive
governance, funding, and social support for Indigenous
communities.
