In preparation for COP29 held in Baku last year, the UNFCCC launched a podcast series called Climate Action 101. In the second episode, titled “Rio Conventions 101,” Researcher Koyama from UNU-IAS OUIK appeared alongside UNU-IAS Head of Programme and Administration Takemoto to discuss the history of the Rio Conventions (the three Rio Convetions) and the potential for youth to engage in addressing issues related to climate change and biodiversity.
Researcher Koyama also highlighted the importance of collaboration among various stakeholders—including the government, local communities, businesses, and youth—in the recovery efforts following the Noto Peninsula earthquake and torrential rain disasters that occurred last year.
