Five Percent of the Earth Is Already Living in the Future
The World Network of Biosphere Reserves holds regular meetings to identify priorities, strengthen collaboration, and define a Global Action Plan for the future.
From September 22 to 26, 2025, more than 2,000 participants—including scientists, policymakers, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and conservationists—will gather to shape the future of more than 750 UNESCO Biosphere Reserves in 136 countries in Hangzhou, China.
Overall, discussions will focus on the contributions of the World Network of Biosphere Reserves to the global biodiversity and sustainable development agenda, aligning efforts with key international frameworks such as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and the International Decade of Science for Sustainable Development.
Portugal currently has 12 Biosphere Reserves.
