Bridging Tradition and Innovation:
Indigenous and Youth Contributions to Climate Action and Sustainable Development in the Congo Basin
As the inaugural session in the Congo Basin Voices series, this webinar marks the beginning of ongoing collaboration, shared learning, and collective action across diverse themes that will unfold throughout the series to ensure the Congo Basin's future.
Join us this August for an inspiring webinar that brings together Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) representatives with passionate young researchers to explore new and innovative ways of safeguarding the world’s second-largest tropical rainforest—the Congo Basin. This session will explore how traditional ecological knowledge and contemporary science can synergistically contribute to protecting this vital ecosystem.
