Annual Institutional Dialogue for Mediterranean Nature

This year’s Annual Institutional Dialogue for Mediterranean Nature of the Natural Heritage Mission will be held on 28th and 29th of November, in Málaga, Spain (in-person).

The first day of the event, the 28th of November, will focus on marine and coastal restoration. This is a key discussion towards the restoration of at least 20% of the world’s land and sea areas by 2030, as identified under Target 2 of the Global Biodiversity Framework. It also supports the target of 30% of terrestrial, coastal, freshwater, and marine ecosystems in good condition by 2030 under the EU Nature Restoration Law. This event is organised back-to-back with the 6th International Marine Science Communication Conference (CommOCEAN).

The second day of the event, the 29th of November, will offer a capacity-building session on the policy-science interface. The objective is to provide insights for projects and organisations to better navigate the complexities of decision-making for nature conservation. Additionally, the Natural Heritage community of practice will have the chance to meet, exchange ideas and identify new opportunities for collaboration.
