Nature4Climate cordially invites you to Nature’s Climate Hub. Here you can experience the power of nature-based solutions in action – from Sunday 22nd to Wednesday 25th September at Convene 101 Park Avenue and Central Park Zoo.
In the face of the current planetary emergency, tens of thousands of people from different countries, companies and civil society groups will be sharing action plans how we speed up our response to climate change. Nature is a crucial component of those plans. If we are to stand a chance of holding the global temperature rise to below 1.5 degrees, we need #NatureNow.
In addition to the rapid decarbonisation of the energy, industrial and transport sectors, enacted through a just and inclusive transition, the emergency response must include a major investment in nature. These solutions – which focus on removing emissions from the land sector and enhancing the ability of natural ecosystems to remove carbon from the atmosphere – are effective, durable, cost-efficient – and can be used in every country on Earth.
It doesn’t stop there: these approaches will help combat land degradation, put food on the table, deliver biodiversity and economic benefits, build livelihoods and resilience for communities, all at the same time. This is why we need to protect, restore and fund nature.
Nature’s Climate Hub is four days of powerful programming that brings to life such solutions as they relate to forests, soils, food and agriculture, freshwater, ocean and marine ecosystems and wildlife. You can view the full programs here and an online program here.
The hub is a collaborative venture bringing together more than 100 events from 50+ organisations – and organised by a coalition of 20 partners. The four days are structured in a thematic way: Sunday 22nd September for forests and restoration; Monday 23rd September for food, agriculture and soils; Tuesday 24th September for the ocean, freshwater and marine ecosystems; and Wednesday 25th September for sessions that cut across all of the above.
There will be a series of lively ‘big idea’ talks showcasing the best of nature-based solutions; interactive sessions tackling the challenges we face – and opportunities to meet and discuss with the experts. We will hear commitments from governments, civil society, companies and communities, and there will be art, exhibitions, storytelling, film and music.
- Forest and Restoration Hub on Sunday 22nd September will delve deeper into what is happening around the world on forests and restoration. There will be more than 30 different events covering commitments, innovations and actions focused on in-tact and natural forests, avoided deforestation commodities, restoration, finance, indigenous peoples and local communities. Location: Convene, 101 Park Avenue.
- Food, Soils and Agriculture Hub on Monday 23rd September will showcase the best ideas, techniques and processes for a world where we can feed our growing population while protecting and restoring the natural world on which those systems rely. There will be sessions on food systems, healthy soils, agricultural practices, peatland conservation, and the role of all stakeholders – from indigenous peoples to private sector companies. Location: Convene, 101 Park Avenue.
- Ocean, Freshwater and Marine Ecosystem Hub on Tuesday 24th September will bring together sessions on the critical role of ocean and freshwater ecosystems as both sink and salve, the role of blue carbon, finance, marine natural climate solutions, community and corporate innovation as well as discussion on aquaculture and marine life at risk. Location: Convene, 101 Park Avenue.
- Nature-Based Solutions Nexus Hub on Wednesday 25th September will focus on how nature-based solutions can deliver for biodiversity and the Sustainable Development Goals as well as for the climate. Sessions will examine the cross-cutting nature of many nature-based solutions, and will culminate with a rally to celebrate all the announcements and actions from the UN Summit and Climate Week. Location: Central Park Zoo, WCS.
