GYBN Africa Youth Capacity Building Workshop 2022 on Area-Based Conservation

Applications for the Global Youth Biodiversity Network (GYBN) Africa Youth Capacity Building Workshop 2022 on Area-Based Conservation are open and will close on 26 June 2022.

This workshop aims to increase the understanding and participation of youth in area-based conservation measures in Africa and key approaches to achieving it.

As the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework evolves, parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity are exposed to a variety of perspectives on biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, relating to the future of the framework as a whole and to aspects such as area-based conservation measures, and there are diverse perspectives on how targets might be framed in relation to these measures. The youth capacity-building workshop will establish African youth priorities, bridge knowledge gaps, and draw insights from experts to empower participants to engage youth, decision-makers, negotiators, and the wider public.

Benefits

Attendance grants will be awarded at the end of the workshop.

Young leaders from all over Africa under 35 years can apply for this training workshop if:
You are dedicated towards inclusive and rights-based approach to area-based conservation in Africa.
