Panel during the World Leaders' Dialogue

On Friday morning, participants attended three introductory plenaries on the thematic areas of the Congress: parks, people and planet. Participants then attended the opening sessions of the eight streams on: reaching conservation goals; responding to climate change; improving health and well-being; supporting human life; reconciling development challenges; enhancing diversity and quality of governance; respecting indigenous and traditional knowledge and culture; and inspiring a new generation. Stream sessions convened throughout the day, and in the evening the World Leaders’ Dialogue focused on money matters and the value of parks.
