Youth Assembly consultation session: Agrifood systems within National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs)

As the world moves toward implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF), agri-food systems are emerging as a critical frontier for biodiversity conservation and restoration. This session brought together youth networks, UN institutions, and national representatives to explore how young people can influence the integration of agri-food systems into updated National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs). Through technical insights, and interactive reflections, the session aimed to equip youth with the knowledge and agency to contribute meaningfully to biodiversity planning and governance.
