Universal Declaration of Nature’s Rights will be delivered by H.E. Juan Carlos Navarro, Minister of Environment for Panama, offering a global perspective on the growing movement to recognize nature as a rights-bearing entity rather than a resource to be exploited; drawing on Panama’s leadership at the intersection of climate, biodiversity, and sustainable development, the keynote will explore what a Universal Declaration of Nature’s Rights could mean in practice—how it can be embedded into governance, legal systems, and financial frameworks to shift from extraction to stewardship—while outlining a forward-looking vision for aligning policy, capital, and international cooperation around the protection of ecosystems as the foundation of long-term resilience, security, and prosperity.
