Webinar on Mitigating Renewable Energy Impacts in the Americas

Описание: Convened by the CMS Energy Task Force (ETF), this webinar explored renewable energy impacts and solutions in the Americas with a specific focus on Brazil, both as a key actor in the region’s renewable energy transition and as the host of CMS COP15. The session highlighted how ETF members and partners are designing, financing, and implementing renewable energy projects in ways that anticipate and mitigate impacts on migratory species.

The panel brought together stakeholders from diverse sectors, including national and subnational government representatives from government, finance, industry and civil society, to share lessons learned and practical approaches that balance renewable energy expansion with biodiversity conservation. This webinar further contributed to the implementation of the Rio Conventions Synergies, promoting integrated approaches to climate mitigation, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable energy development.

The webinar:
• Advances shared understanding of how the energy transition can support both climate and biodiversity objectives in the Americas while anticipating and mitigating impacts on migratory species,
• Strengthens regional dialogue and collaboration ahead of CMS COP15 in Brazil, and
• Showcases best practices and innovative tools like AVISTEP for managing renewable energy impacts on migratory species.
