Major global conservation summit underway in Hawaii

For the next ten days, Hawaii is hosting the world's largest conservation meeting.

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature holds its World Conservation Congress every four years in a different location.

This year congress is running under the theme of "Planet at the Crossroads" with particular focus on the impacts of climate change such as sea-level rise.

It is the biggest environmental meeting since the Paris climate talks and is expected to press for more action on some of the outcomes of that major summit.

It's also expected to feature announcements of new initiatives on the establishment of important biodiversity zones.

Earth Journalism Network fellow Cain Nunns is in Honolulu for the congress and gave Johnny Blades this rundown.
