Today Janez Potocnik and Izabella Teixeira are colleagues as Co-Chairs of the International Resource Panel (IRP). A decade ago, they became friends as negotiators at the 10th Conference of Parties of the Convention of Biological Diversity in Nagoya, Japan. They have distilled that decade of experience into clear, science-based principles in their new opinion piece “Building Biodiversity – the Natural Resource Management Approach”.

Youth and Environment Europe (YEE) is the largest independent European network of environmental youth organizations. YEE unites 52 member organisations coming from 30 countries. All activities and projects of YEE are organised and carried out by young people under 30. YEE organises, facilitates and supports projects and campaigns aiming to increase the knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the environment and the awareness of climate issues among young people in Europe.

This event builds on YEE and the IRP’s recent work to bring its research to a new audience: European youth. This online “Youth Dialogue with the IRP’s Co-Chairs” launched a new chapter of YEE and IRP collaboration.
