The U.N. Biodiversity Summit, known as COP16 is underway in Cali, Colombia.

Government delegates, experts and civil society representatives are under pressure to take action and deliver a solid plan for biodiversity conservation.

For more than two years, China held the position of COP15 president. Their leadership leaves a legacy that includes the passing of important measures such as the 2022 Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework, a historic agreement committing nations to stop and reverse nature loss by 2030.
