Next September, an essential strategic meeting will bring together experts, organizations and decision-makers from all walks of life to identify the transformations and actions needed to better integrate biodiversity into the Quebec economy.
Given the urgency highlighted by the latest IPBES reports, it is imperative to rethink our practices to move beyond current political and economic frameworks. This day of reflection will offer a unique opportunity to explore concrete solutions and co-construct a roadmap for sustainable changes in economics and governance, consistent with the Nature Plan and the work of IPBES.
The conclusions of this event will be published to encourage collective mobilization and the involvement of a wide range of actors at the end of this decisive day.
Date: September 23, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Location: Montreal Planetarium (4801 Pierre-de Coubertin Ave, Montreal, Quebec H1V 3V4). Thanks to Espace pour la Vie for their contribution.
