The CBD COP 16 meeting is the first major summit since the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (KMGBF) in 2022 and will be a test of national commitment to action on biodiversity loss.
Success at COP16 hinges on these key outcomes:
- Governments put updated and aligned national plans forward and agree on metrics for tracking their progress. They integrate ambitious actions for species recovery.
- Significant progress is made toward the $20 billion by 2025 international nature finance target.
- Concrete steps are taken to strengthen the links between nature and climate change processes.
- Agree a fair, equitable, accountable, and transparent multilateral mechanism for ensuring access to and benefit sharing from Digital Sequenced Information (DSI).
- Achieving these goals will require the highest political commitment from world leaders and finance ministers
