SUMMARY
Join a top-level panel of scientists, conservationists and policymakers as they discuss how our disregard for nature caused covid-19 – and how we can seize a unique opportunity to build back better.

This event accompanies the New Scientist “Rescue Plan for Nature” feature series presented in association with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and is free for all to attend.

The talk will be followed by a Q+A session moderated by the host.
