COP16 Concludes with Global Biodiversity Call
The COP16 biodiversity summit commenced in Cali, Colombia, with urgent calls for increased funding and concrete commitments to halt biodiversity loss, as nearly 1 million species face extinction. The conference, attended by representatives from 196 countries, aims to build on the pledges made at COP15, including designating 30% of land and seas for protection by 2030. Colombian President Gustavo Petro and others criticized wealthier nations for failing to fulfill previous climate agreements. Indigenous communities are actively participating, advocating for their inclusion in decision-making processes and funding. Key challenges highlighted include rampant deforestation, agricultural expansion, and the impact of climate change on ecosystems, particularly in the Amazon. Leaders emphasize the need for holistic solutions to address both biodiversity loss and food security, as the global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050.
