It identified a series of critical global shifts, including growing scarcity and competition for resources, that can affect the future of planetary health and human wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While global issues require a global perspective, they also require understanding of the unique regional contexts. Bringing a global lens to regional sustainable development conversations, and vice versa, supports forward-looking insight that can tap into the variables that may either hinder or support achieving the 2030 sustainable development goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this webinar, we discussed the global and regional drivers of change that can affect the future of planetary health and human wellbeing in the near, medium, and long term. This webinar also highlighted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/resources\/global-foresight-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global Foresight Report<\/a> on Planetary Health and Human Wellbeing and the North American Consultations that contributed to it and explored what the findings mean for the Great Lakes Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SPEAKER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/councilgreatlakesregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jason.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16677\" style=\"width:290px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/councilgreatlakesregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jason.png 400w, https:\/\/councilgreatlakesregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jason-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/councilgreatlakesregion.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/jason-125x125.png 125w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jason Jabbour, Senior Programme Management Officer, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jason Jabbour is a Senior Advisor and Programme Coordinator with UNEP\u2019s Office of the Chief Scientist based in Nairobi, Kenya.
