A Stockholm+50 event organized by Cirad, INRAE and IRD
Cirad, INRAE and IRD are organising a Stockholm+50 associated event online, on May 31, 3-5PM central european summertime (CEST). For the 50 year anniversary of the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Environment in Stockholm, scientists will present key messages from three policy brriefs published by Cirad, IDDRI, INRAE and IRD. The event aims to foster collective action and cooperation between stakeholders, policymakers and scientists, in order to improve policy coherence on the land sector and between sectors, to face environmental challenges.
“Stockholm+50: a healthy planet for the prosperity of all – our responsibility, our opportunity”
The United Nations is gathering the global environmental community together in Stockholm, Sweden for a major international environmental meeting on June 2 and 3, 2022. 50 years after the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment. The event is an opportunity to look back on 50 years of multilateral environmental action and look to the present and future to achieve urgent environmental action for the planet.
Four expectations for this international meeting:
- Rebuild relationships of trust
- Accelerate system wide actions for a sustainable and inclusive recovery
- Connect and build bridges across agendas
- Rethink conceptions and measures of progress and wellbeing
Accelerating the environmental dimension of sustainable development will require more integrated visions on the ground and at all relevant scales. This Stockholm + 50 associated event aims to specify environmental challenges for the land sector - biodiversity, climate change and land degradation - and food security, nutrition, poverty in an integrated way. It also calls for a knowledge based evaluation of pathways along multiple sustainability criteria to enlighten decisions for transitions in the land sector, in particular in agriculture. Key messages of three policy briefs published by Cirad, IDDRI, INRAE and IRD will be presented. How to strengthen knowledge based, actionable knowledge and capacity building to tackle those challenges at scale as well as to improve expertise for policymakers in the context of Africa? A discussion will take place.
The goal for this event is to foster collective action and cooperation between stakeholders, policymakers and scientists, in order to improve policy coherence on the land sector and between sectors. It contributes therefore particularly to Leadership Dialogue 3 of the Stockholm+50 international meeting “Accelerating the implementation of the environmental dimension of Sustainable Development in the context of the Decade of Action”.
