Biodiversity Conservation: our Past, Present and Future | Workshop

This workshop aims to provide the opportunity to dive into the basic frameworks around biodiversity and conservation by looking into the past, present and future of this field through a European lens.
We shared insights and provided expert information on the essentials of biodiversity, why this topic matters and how it is continuing to impact the present and future generations to come. The workshop was aiming at taking the audience on a biological journey by explaining where the idea originated from and where they had hoped for the path to lead towards, with a specific focus on the role the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is designed to play. The workshop also focused on how this subject is impacting European realities by contextualising it to realities on the ground. Young people across Europe are fundamental in advocating for the preservation and regeneration of the biodiversity that our and future generations depend on. To do that, it is important to know where we fit into this debate and discover together on how we best can influence them.
