With the future of global biodiversity at stake, this press conference will highlight the urgent need for negotiators to reject these false solutions and instead embrace transformative and gender-responsive approaches that prioritize ecological integrity, uphold Indigenous and community rights, and ensure a just transition for nature and people.
