Open Session: Transformative change for biodiversity and climate
Session 8
Introduction to the session
There is a scientific consensus on the need for transformative change in society and the necessity of addressing both climate change and the biodiversity crisis simultaneously. In this session, we invite short and focused presentations (7+3 minutes) on various scientific or societal endeavors exploring such transformative change, with a focus on issues related to biodiversity and climate change.
