The first of BirdLife's Green Recovery Webinar Series, which aims to increase momentum towards a Green Recovery from the COVID-19 crisis. Join us for a daring discussion on the future of our planet, with:
- Carlos Manuel Rodríguez (Global Environment Facility) 13:20
- Woochong Um (Asian Development Bank) 26:09
- Daniel Calleja-Crespo (European Commission) 35:15
- Introductory presentation & closing remarks by Patricia Zurita (BirdLife CEO)
- Q&A discussion moderated by Braulio Dias (BirdLife Council Chairman) 49:16
In addition to the horrific loss of life resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, there have also been enormous economic costs. Governments are responding in the right way, and trillions of dollars are now on the table to kick-start the world's economy. This is the highest level of financial support seen during peacetime.
We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to use these stimulus packages to incentivise a more sustainable, fair and green economic model: one that puts nature at its heart. We have secured three leading figures in multilateral organisations from Asia, Europe and Latin America who will enlighten us on the opportunities and challenges of using the recovery funds as the starting point for a greener future.
This webinar series is aligned with BirdLife's campaign to make a healthy, natural environment a universal human right. Please sign the petition at [ Ссылка ]
