Why Agriculture and Conservation Must Co-Exist

Stepping Up for Agriculture and Conservation

During the 26th Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical, and Technological Advice (SBSTTA-26) meeting in Nairobi, this was the focus of one of the side events led by the Alliance, where representatives from NGOs, governments, international organizations, UN bodies, and other stakeholders agreed on the need to step up efforts to make these two dimensions coexist.

The event’s main goal was to reflect on the means of implementation and pathways to accelerate action for mainstreaming agriculture and food systems in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) that address multiple Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) targets and complementary commitments in international climate and environmental policy instruments.
