COP27 – Global Landscapes Forum: The Stories We Live By

The Stories We Live By: The Importance of Ecosystem Restoration through the Lens of Values, Culture and Spirituality

As the world increasingly understands the consequences of the triple planetary crisis, humanity has  an opportunity to reorient ourselves toward the earth and natural systems. Many grassroots efforts have realized how values-based approaches that integrate culture, Indigenous knowledge, and lessons from spiritual traditions can help motivate and sustain meaningful shifts in behavior and attitudes. Within the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration context, this session will explore how diverse stakeholders can engage with these themes to heal and restore the living Earth.

CEE Executive Director Karenna Gore will deliver remarks. CEE Director of Sustainability and Global Affairs Andrew Schwartz will moderate this session, part of the Global Landscapes Forum, an official side event to COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
