COP16: A crucial step towards achieving global biodiversity targets

This year’s United Nations biodiversity conference COP16 marks the crucial next step in implementing the Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) adopted in 2022 by 196 governments. Governments are expected to submit their updated National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans, progress on the GBF resource mobilisation strategy
and on a global mechanism to ensure fair access to genetic information and equitable sharing of benefits derived from its use.
