UNESCO Forum on Biodiversity 2021

On the 24th of March we tuned in to the UNESCO Forum on Biodiversity which saw high-level stakeholders coming together to discuss environmental challenges and how to address them in ways that are ethical and peaceful. Dr. Jane Goodall, the nominated spokesperson of the 50th anniversary of Man and Biosphere (MAB), highlighted the importance of establishing new relationships with our natural world.

“It’s very clear, we need to develop a new relationship with the natural world… we need to find a new, respectful relationship with nature and a new, greener and more sustainable economy.” She went on to congratulate UNESCO’s MAB on the important work it is doing in helping to develop and implement these new relationships all over the world. Highlighting the importance of the role of young people in the future of Biosphere Reserves, six young MAB representatives spoke at the forum.
