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 2050.
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.
UNU-IAS will contribute through the following side events and research outputs.
