The 16th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is taking place at Cali (Colombia) from Monday 21th October to Friday 1th November, 2024. The first COP to implement the Kunming-Montreal Framework (two years after the agreement reached in 2022 to preserve 30% of the world’s land and sea by 2030), this COP will be an opportunity for countries to present their national biodiversity strategies and action plans (NBSAPs).
The 11th meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties (MOP) to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CP-MOP-11) and the fifth MOP to the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and Fair and Equitable Sharing of the Benefits Arising out of their Utilization (NP-MOP-5) will also meet on this occasion.
Ecological connectivity is at the top of the international agenda: an opportunity for the International Coalition Biodiversity Corridors in Africa to meet and redefine the contours of its strategy for the coming years.
