Side event details

The Global Wetland Outlook reports, published in 2018 and 2021, have shown a context of wetland loss and degradation on a global scale. In France, the situation is similar, but actions are taken to limit these threats. A particular attention is carried out on Ramsar sites, which spreads to other wetlands in the country. Other countries are also carrying out virtuous actions to preserve these precious ecosystems.

The objective of this side-event is to present feedbacks that can support and improve wetland management in general and Ramsar sites especially.
 

This event will take place in 3 steps:

• A french feedback of the Ramsar sites and Wetlands network leading (monitoring of sites, promotion of the label, conferences about Ramsar site management, national wetlands policies, etc.).

• A presentation of good practices from South Korea.

(Speaker: Joon-woo Seo -International Cooperation Officer- Ministry of Environment - Republic of Korea)

• An exchange with the participants on the improvements or actions carried out in their countries.
