The MCoP5 Challenge-WWF

WWF, in collaboration with MCOP (Model Conferences of Parties), organized a two-day online workshop to promote biodiversity conservation.

Day 1: The workshop focused on the ’30×30′ target, aiming to protect 30% of Earth’s land, sea, and freshwater ecosystems by 2030. This goal is crucial for halting biodiversity loss and safeguarding carbon stocks to combat climate change. Key topics included ecosystem services, the link between nature and climate, and international agreements like the Paris Agreement, Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, and the Stockholm Convention. Discussions emphasized strategies for protecting endangered species and habitats, highlighting the essential role of biodiversity conservation in maintaining ecological balance and ensuring a sustainable future.

Day 2: The workshop featured three insightful sessions. The first session, led by Women4biodiversity, highlighted the impact of biodiversity changes on indigenous communities and women, emphasizing their crucial role in ecosystem protection. This was followed by discussions on biodiversity, resort planning, and business strategies. Participants engaged in activities such as animal crossword puzzles and identifying animals from images. The workshop also covered the conservation efforts of Assam’s ‘Stork Sister’ and the protection of the Hargila stork. The day concluded with interactive activities, making it a rejuvenating and enlightening experience.
