In the face of the triple planetary crisis of pollution, climate change and biodiversity loss, this session will focus on the opportunities to tackle the intertwined environmental challenges we face today.
The 8th edition of the Festival Alternatiba Léman is taking place in Geneva the same week of INTECOL 2022. This is an opportunity to have a common event, looking at the interlinkages and synergies addressing the triple planetary crisis, involving actors attending these events and international Geneva. Alternatiba showcases concrete means and solutions for reducing emissions, through conferences, exhibits, stands, workshops and practical demonstrations, among others, with the participation of numerous local actors. INTECOL 2022 will gather experts from all over the world to discuss environmental issues, global climate challenges, energy and territorial development.
This session is also an opportunity to showcase Geneva as a global hub to tackle the interrelated triple planetary crisis. Climate and biodiversity are at the core of numerous discussions and negotiations held in the city. Numerous actors from international Geneva do contribute to global climate and biodiversity negotiations.
Geneva is also the UN hub for chemicals and waste governance, with numerous actors addressing this issue. Pollution is identified as one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss. Therefore, it is important to look at these challenges and solutions in a synergistic way in order to address them effectively. There are a number of international initiatives already underway with integrated approaches across the biodiversity, climate, and chemicals and waste communities to ensure cooperative action. There are many lessons that have been learned from the wider cooperation, synergies and agendas.
