Expectations were high ahead of the UN Biodiversity Conference COP16 which was meant to lay the foundation for the successful implementation of the ambitious Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework adopted in 2022. But did COP16 deliver the necessary commitments, monitoring framework and financing?

In this webinar, we bring together leading experts from different backgrounds who attended the conference which took place in Cali, Colombia, between 21 October and 1 November. You will meet researchers, country delegates, topic experts and representatives from Indigenous communities who will share their experiences and insights from the negotiations and other processes.

The online event is a collaboration between SEI, SIANI, Focali, WWT, the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University and Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate (BECC), at University of Gothenburg and Lund University.
