Organiser
Network of African Women Environmentalists (NAWE)

The Network of Africa Women Environmentalists (NAWE) is launching a new initiative called the Earth Science Cafes. Each café event will be theme-based with an overall objective of “Connecting Science to Society” based on recognized and respected scientific reports, evidence and background data. 

TIME: 12:00 GMT - 13:00 UK - 15:00 Kenya

This webinar will highlight how intergenerational dialogue between landscape mentors and guardians can empower young environmental advocates who support communities to realize the future they want.

Join the Landscape Ambassador, HRH The Prince of Monaco, to hear how royal houses are actively working on the restoration of natural environments. The UNEP Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) showed that traditional, indigenous and lands managed by royal estates are degrading the least and we will therefore discuss what role royal institutions can play in sustainable management of landscapes.



The organizers has also invited four Youth Leaders who have agreed to become Landscape Guardians in the NAWE “Adopt a Landscape” campaign and one of the Landscape Mentors.
