The Satoyama Initiative at the UN Biodiversity Conference

Sem_título-4
The 2024 UN Biodiversity Conference (CBD COP 16) will be held in Cali, Colombia on 21 October – 1 November 2024. It will be the first Biodiversity COP since the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) in December 2022 — a historic agreement aiming to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.

At the conference, governments will evaluate the progress of implementation of the GBF, and further develop the monitoring framework and resource mobilization. Countries are also expected to demonstrate the alignment of their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) with the Framework.

The IPSI Secretariat will contribute through the following side events and research outputs.
We invite IPSI members to inform us of any events planned for COP 16 so that we can add them to the IPSI at the UN Biodiversity Conference events page!
