BCON Selected as One of the 50 Solutions in the World Will Be Unveiled at the 2023 Paris Peace Forum

 On September 5, 2023, the Paris Peace Forum announced that this year’s forum presented a series of important global governance projects to the world. These projects provide concrete solutions to global challenges. The organizer will provide with tailored support through close collaboration with policymakers, practitioners and sponsors. Among them, "Biodiversity Conservation in Our Neighborhood (BCON)" from China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation(CBCGDF) has become one of its seven major solutions in the field of biodiversity.

According to the French government, at its annual event and throughout the year, the Paris Peace Forum showcases and accelerates governance projects or initiatives that propose specific solutions to global challenges. Each year, the Forum provides these projects with customized support by connecting project leaders with decision-makers, practitioners, and funders.

Since 2018, over 460 projects have been featured, of which ten annually receive one year of customized support via the Forum’s Scale-up program. These projects have achieved significant results and are characterized by their international and multi-stakeholder dimension and the ability to bring about lasting change within global governance.

This year, the Space for Solutions will showcase 50 new projects and initiatives tackling issues at the heart of the sixth edition. All of them will enjoy a dedicated space within the event venue, and a chance to take the floor to speak about their work and/or share their views on the issue in global governance that they are addressing. 

Here are the 7 biodiversity projects selected in 2023:

  1. Jeunesse Sahélienne pour l’Action Climatique, led by African Union-European Union Youth Cooperation Hub
