In contribution to the International Day for Biological Diversity, Thailand hosts an event highlighting the importance of biodiversity and advocating for environmental awareness.
Under the title ‘Be Part of the Plan’, this event is hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, featuring seminars, debates, and exhibitions from government agencies, business sectors, educational institutions, and network organizations.
This annual event aims at driving and elevating conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of biodiversity.
This year, Thailand is anticipated to play a key role in the region in advancing the goals of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework to achieve tangible results.
The initiative will be implemented through policies and activities from various sectors or network partners, alongside promoting Nature Positive activities and strengthening partnerships between the public and private sectors, both domestic and international.
The seminars present numerous significant topics such as the progress of advancing the OECMs (Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures) and Nature-based Solutions to address biodiversity-related issues.
Additionally, the Thai government is currently revising its National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans, which are expected to be presented at the upcoming sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP16). (NNT)
