We are excited to share details about the Sixteenth Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 16). This event, taking place alongside the Cartagena Protocol and Nagoya Protocol meetings, marks the first Biodiversity COP since the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework at COP 15. This conference is an important moment to also highlight the critical intersection of biodiversity and food systems, emphasizing their importance in achieving sustainable development.
Key Highlights to be expected from the COP:
- Review of Implementation: Governments will review the progress of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
- Alignment of NBSAPs: Parties will showcase how their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans align with the Framework.
- Monitoring and Resource Mobilization: Further development of the monitoring framework and resource mobilization for biodiversity.
- Digital Sequence Information: Finalizing the multilateral mechanism for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from digital sequence information on genetic resources.
This conference includes a high-level ministerial segment and promises to advance global biodiversity efforts significantly.
Stay tuned for updates from COP 16!
