jadran_web_5337.jpgI am hastily heading to the World Conservation Forum in Barcelona, which starts next week. Here, more than 8,000 of the world's leading decision makers in sustainable development will convene: from governments, NGOs, business, the UN and academia. Together in one place for 10 days, they will to debate, share, network, learn, commit, vote and decide. Their objectives: ideas, action and solutions for a diverse and sustainable world.

Many of the session will be streamed live, including dozens of marine-focused sessions. Here is a link to those sessions.
