18 June 2020. FAO Brussels Dialogue on agriculture, biodiversity and the EU Green Deal Mainstreaming biodiversity and sustainable use of natural resources across the agricultural sector - linkages with the European Green Deal and the COVID-19 response
The world is facing unprecedented challenges because of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the immediate global priority is to tackle this public health emergency, our long-term response must address the disruption of nature’s balance, loss of biodiversity and degradation of natural resources and ecosystems.
The panelists discussed global efforts to transform agriculture and food systems in view of protecting biodiversity, addressing climate change and using natural resources more sustainably and how biodiversity actions can be further mainstreamed in international policy, the key elements of UN-EU global collaboration on biodiversity and the role of other partners and sectors.
