On Tuesday, 9th July 2024, the United Nations Common Approach to Biodiversity (Common Approach) webinar series introduced a new sub-series focused on human rights and biodiversity. The first webinar, titled “Incorporating human rights-based approaches to the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of biodiversity: A UN inter-agency and multi-stakeholder discussion”, was hosted by the United Nations Environment Management Group (EMG) in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The event featured a panel discussion between representatives from the UN, Indigenous communities and youth on the importance, opportunities and existing gaps for the incorporation of human rights-based approaches to biodiversity conservation, the role of the Common Approach in guiding UN collective action on biodiversity, and the key considerations for the upcoming CBD COP16 negotiations.
