#SB8J just wrapped up a historic first meeting in Panama City.
This Subsidiary Body is the outcome of decades of advocacy. #SB8J_1 made important progress.
To tackle biodiversity loss, we need all hands on deck, including the hands & voices of the custodians of biodiversity.
@UNBiodiversity met with the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity (@IIFB_indigenous) in preparation for the twenty-seventh meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice (#SBSTTA27)
An event organised by @unepwcmc in Cambridge discussed how the information gathered by Indigenous Peoples and local communities can be used to link local knowledge to national level monitoring and global processes.
