Participants convened in plenary throughout the day. In the morning, speeches were delivered by high-level representatives from Australia, the Pacific Island States, and US, as well as leaders from UN organizations, the private sector and the youth movement. In the afternoon, three panel discussions addressed issues on regional ways to “make space for nature”, achievements of the last decade and the challenges and opportunities of the next one, and adventures in the wild. In the evening, the first World Leaders’ Dialogue on “The Future Is Not What It Used To Be - How Parks Can Help Build a More Resilient Future,” took place with several leaders sharing personal stories about the connections between nature and humans, and environmental protection and climate change, among others.
