WEBINAR: Civil Society and COP 16 – How can organisations make the most of the CBD COP?

The upcoming Conference of the Parties of the UN Convention on Biodiversity (CBD COP) in Cali is a major opportunity to make global progress on protecting nature. But as with all high-level international fora, the CBD COP has its fair share of complexity.

This webinar aims to help civil society organisations better understand how the CBD COP works, and provide advice on how to make the most of their participation in this key global summit.

Participants will hear insights from two experts with extensive experience in engaging with the CBD process, and will have the chance to ask questions and share ideas.

Speakers

• Dr Susan Lieberman, Vice President, International Policy, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS): Sue Lieberman has worked in international biodiversity conservation, at the intersection of science and policy, for almost 30 years, including extensive experience with international wildlife trade, wildlife trafficking, and intergovernmental policy.
• Dr Charles (Chip) Barber, Director, Natural Resources Governance and Policy, World Resources Institute: Chip Barber oversees the Nature Crime Alliance and Forest Governance and Policy teams at WRI, and serves as the Institute’s senior biodiversity advisor. He has participated the CBD process since 1989.

The webinar takes place on Zoom on Thursday 9 October, 9:30am ET / 2:30pm UK time / 3:30pm CET. There will be interpretation available for French, Portuguese and Spanish.
