SUMMARY:What Works Summit
DESCRIPTION:The What Works Summit “Truth + Trust” is a global gathering of decision-makers and leaders to advance social progress. \nRather than bringing us together to defeat a common enemy\, Covid-19 has only pushed us further apart and deepened divisions. To meet these challenges and to rebuild more inclusively\, equitably\, sustainably and with greater resilience\, we need strong foundations\, alignment across sectors\, and a common understanding. Without trust in institutions\, in people\, and in information\, creating a brighter future and advancing social progress is all but impossible. \nJoin us at the Banff Centre for the Art and Creativity in Canada from May 31st to June 2nd\, to address local and global solutions that move us forward\, spark new ideas and forge new partnerships. You can learn more here: https://www.whatworksinspi.com/ \nRegister for the event here: https://events.eply.com/WhatWorksSummit2022 \nWe have a special discount code for you! Register with code: WWPartner. We have limited spots available.

SUMMARY:Nature-Based Solutions\, Climate Resilience\, and the SDGs
DESCRIPTION:From mangrove forests in coastal villages to green roofs on city skyscrapers\, nature-based solutions are one of the most powerful – and most underutilized – approaches to mitigate and adapt to climate change. By protecting\, restoring\, and sustainably managing ecosystems\, nature-based solutions offer the potential to reduce climate related risks and address the biodiversity crisis\, while delivering social and economic benefits to those living within these ecosystems. \nOn June 23\, Aga Khan Foundation Canada is pleased to host Nature-based Solutions\, Climate Resilience\, and the SDGs\, welcoming a panel of experienced practitioners who aim to reduce climate risks\, advance climate resilience\, and support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Panelists will discuss the imperative of using nature-based solutions to address climate change and biodiversity loss and share examples of ongoing initiatives and available resources that organizations can draw on to strengthen their own work in this area. \nIn addition to the panel discussion\, participants will be invited to participate in breakout groups led by the speakers. These breakout groups will provide the opportunity to discuss the policy considerations\, opportunities\, and challenges of using nature-based solutions in development projects aimed at mitigating and adapting to climate change. \nKey Information for Attendees \n\nWhen you register\, please indicate your interest to attend in-person at the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat or to attend online (Zoom) by selecting the relevant ticket option.\nPlease note that a proof of vaccination will be required to join in person.\nIn-person attendees are welcome to arrive by 8:40am\, to network and enjoy light refreshments.\n\nEvent Format/Breakout Sessions \nThe event will include breakout sessions with each panelist focusing on implementation and/or policy. \n\nIn person participants will be welcome to join a breakout session with Patricia Fuller or Jimena Eyzaguirre.\nOnline participants will be welcome to join a breakout session with Didier Van Bignoot or Benjamin Simmons.\nPlease specify your preference for breakout sessions as you fill out the registration form.
