The Future of Conservation Leadership: Investing in the People Delivering Local Climate and Biodiversity Action
Conservation Leadership Programme present: The Future of Conservation Leadership: Investing in the People Delivering Local Climate and Biodiversity Action
As climate change accelerates biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation and social vulnerability, conservation leaders are increasingly at the forefront of climate action. They are designing and delivering nature-based solutions, supporting climate adaptation, and strengthening community resilience.
This session will explore how the climate and conservation community can strengthen and evolve leadership development efforts for the coming decade. It will bring together perspectives from emerging leaders, partners and donors to discuss what conservation leaders will need to equip them in a rapidly changing world and how leadership programmes can better support them.
This event will be followed by drinks until 7 p.m.
Panelists:
Dr. Blanca Huertes, Principal Curator Insects Division, Natural History Museum London
Dr. Charles Emogor, Research Associate University of Cambridge and Founder & Executive Director of Pangolino
