The Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel (STAP) to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) organized a Science Day event at the Seventh GEF Assembly in Vancouver, Canada, on 22 August 2023. The event featured an opening and two main sessions: (1) the Youth Leaders Learning Exchange, which provided an opportunity for youth to share their experiences and inspire other youth leaders, and (2) the Indigenous and Local Knowledge Event, which focused on how such knowledge can help the GEF to deliver greater global environmental benefits, with panel discussions on the Arctic and the North and on the Amazon. This report summarizes the discussions and main takeaways from the event.
