Taking advantage of technological advancements
During the virtual session, UNDP Resident Representative Maria del Carmen Sacasa stressed the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in areas like food security and territorial governance, even more so in a pandemic scenario.
“For this reason, in a context of climate change, it is essential to find solutions for the recovery of green areas with the use of technologies,” she said.
For her part, Jamison Ervin, from the UNDP Global Program on Nature for Development, emphasized that despite the fact that half of the world’s GDP depends on nature, nowadays human beings are witnessing drastic changes in the natural world (such as the emergence of contagious diseases) that will define their future.
Ervin explained that the project to identify ELSAs should be based on state-of-the-art science to identify existing threats and land use types.
