Τhe session provided a global view on what makes climate, biodiversity and land use policy most effective, for as many as possible, and for as long as possible.
The panel discussion focused on crucial strategies for long-term biodiversity and land use policies aligned with climate action. Professor Koundouri during her speech, presented the methodological framework of SDSN Global Climate Hub, which consist of three layers of analysis:
First, the Science layer that develops national dynamic pathways for the transition to Climate Neutrality and Resilience, by integrating systems analysis of climate, energy, transport, land-use, marine-use, health and socioeconomic mathematical models.
Second, the Transformative Stakeholder Engagement methods for empowering stakeholders to co-design and localise the science driven pathways.
