Global negotiations to address biodiversity loss reignite in Rome amid trust issues in the UN-led process. Delegates meet at Cop16 to finalize targets aimed at halting nature loss by 2030, particularly discussing financial responsibilities for conservation efforts. The last conference in Cali, Colombia, ultimately failed to yield clear outcomes, prompting serious concerns about the enforceability and funding of proposed biodiversity targets. With international environmental diplomacy facing setbacks, especially regarding commitments to act on plastic pollution and climate issues, the stakes are higher for accountability and decisive action during this critical meeting.
Global biodiversity conference Cop16 will address urgent need for countries to agree on financial mechanisms for conservation amid a backdrop of declining trust in the UN process.
The last meeting in Cali ended in chaos, leaving unresolved issues and raising concerns that proposed global nature targets lack actionable commitments.
