SUMMARY:[SP] Towards effective ocean conservation in the 30 x 30 framework
DESCRIPTION:As part of Goal 3 of the Global Biodiversity Framework\, adopted at COP15 in Kunming-Montreal\, which primarily aims to “ensure and enable that by 2030\, at least 30 percent of terrestrial\, inland water\, and coastal and marine areas are conserved\,” this event will be framed within a discussion panel featuring national and international organizations\, including the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development\, INVEMAR\, National Natural Parks of Colombia\, and UNESCO. The panel will highlight the role of oceanic science and its relation to the various actions needed to achieve the 2030 goals\, as well as the actions proposed under several initiatives. Furthermore\, it’s important to recognize that it’s not just about Marine Protected Areas; other protection categories must be considered to ensure proper management through ecologically representative\, well-connected\, and equitably governed systems. \nLead Organisation: Dirección de Asuntos Marinos\, Costeros y Recursos Acuáticos\, Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible de Colombia \n\nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT AGENDA (.PDF) \n\nDOWNLOAD THE EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)

SUMMARY:Empowering Youth for Global Biodiversity: Ocean Leaders Driving Change
DESCRIPTION:This side event will spotlight youth-led projects from around the world that are actively contributing to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and promoting marine conservation. We will explore how young ocean leaders are overcoming challenges—such as limited funding and trust from stakeholders—to protect marine ecosystems and drive impactful change. \nThe event aims to celebrate the successes of these initiatives\, highlighting opportunities for young people to engage in marine biodiversity efforts and influence policy processes. We will delve into how youth can access essential funding\, the transformative role of trust-based philanthropy\, and the innovative actions happening in the field. \nBy showcasing these stories\, we hope to inspire more young leaders to join the movement for a sustainable and biodiverse future. \nLead Organisation: Sustainable Ocean Alliance (SOA) \nCo-organisation(s): Sustainable Ocean Alliance Costa Rica\, Sustainable Ocean Alliance México\, Sustainable Ocean Alliance Perú \n  \nDOWNLOAD THE AGENDA (.PDF) \nDOWNLOAD EVENT SUMMARY (.PDF)
