?? UN Biodiversity #COP16 is underway! Member states are gathering from October 21 to November 1 to explore strategies for implementing the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) and reversing significant biodiversity loss by 2030. This year's theme, “Peace with Nature,” recognizes how consumption and production systems are destroying the environment and how #biodiversity can be a "bulwark" against the destructive forces of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. Last month, The Wilson Center, in partnership with the Pulitzer Center, hosted a panel of experts that highlighted the significance of #COP16, why it matters to community resilience and global stability, and how investments can support biodiversity conservation efforts.

?? As we gather for COP16, I’m excited to share insights on the transformative potential of biodiversity credits for conserving and restoring nature. The document, titled “How Biodiversity Credits Could Help to Conserve and Restore Nature,” explores how these mechanisms can go beyond funding to drive systemic change in natural resource management. You can find this article at https://lnkd.in/di57wkCv. Biodiversity credits offer a way to value and monetize biodiversity, encouraging investment in conservation and restoration projects. At The Cataruben Foundation we are leading pilot projects in Colombia that demonstrate the practical applications of this tool. These initiatives enable us to quantify biodiversity benefits, creating a bridge between conservation and financial sectors. As #COP16 discussions unfold, it’s vital to recognize that nature-based solutions like biodiversity credits are not only innovative—they’re essential to achieving sustainability and climate resilience. I hope this document sparks further collaboration and action to protect the ecosystems that sustain life. ??

Three COPs lined up in 2024 to seek synergies in addressing the?#planetary?crisis. First, the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity 21 October–1 November 2024?-?Cali, #Colombia.

Another key objective is to develop a robust monitoring framework and advance resource mobilization for biodiversity initiatives and finalize a multilateral mechanism for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from?digital innovations.?Colombia's commitment to inclusivity is a highlight of this summit. The host nation aims to see this as a #CopofthePeople," ensuring that diverse voices—including those of local communities, Indigenous groups, and social activists—are actively involved in discussions, and discussions reflect a broader understanding that effective biodiversity conservation requires collaboration across all sectors of society. As global leaders and environmental advocates gather in #Colombia, the stakes are higher than ever. Experts warn that #ecosystems are approaching critical tipping points, with extinction rates accelerating. The decisions made at this event will play a pivotal role in shaping the #future of our planet's biodiversity and ensuring sustainable development for generations to come.

COP16: Two critical weeks for nature in Colombia A good summary of key takeaways from the 2024 United Nations Biodiversity Conference (also known as 'COP16') by Matt Haddon, Global Leader, Biodiversity, Water & Nature at ERM.

A critical event for the health and future of our world, the UN Biodiversity Conference COP 16 will bring nations together to align around a shared conservation vision. At COP 16, governments will review the state of implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which sets out an ambitious plan to achieve a world living in harmony with nature by 2050. The Framework calls for urgent action to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, putting nature on a path to recovery for the benefit of people and planet. Leaders from around the world will meet for the event from October 21 to November 1 in Cali, Colombia, convening around global goals for nature, national biodiversity conservation plans, and climate action.

On the sidelines of #COP16, we launched new Results-based Budgeting (RBB) Guidelines! This guidance is designed to help countries allocate public budgets more efficiently to achieve ambitious global biodiversity goals. With 80% of #biodiversity funding coming from public budgets, the guidelines emphasize the crucial role of government spending in achieving biodiversity targets. The RBB framework ensures that these funds are channeled into concrete, measurable results. “The Result-Based Budgeting guidelines are an important tool that allows countries to link budget allocations with measurable conservation outcomes, ensuring every dollar spent is working harder to safeguard the planet's biodiversity,” said Onno van den Heuvel, Manager for the Biodiversity Finance Initiative.? By using RBB, countries can integrate biodiversity considerations into various policies, planning, and budgeting processes, ensuring a whole-of-government approach to conservation. ??

New research reveals gaps opportunities to align national biodiversity and climate action plans ?? A team from The Nature Conservancy and UNSW Centre for Sustainable Development Reform examined NDCs, NAPs, and NBSAPs from 18 countries and identify gaps and opportunities in aligning these plans. What are these acronyms? ?? In Dec 2022, Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (#CBD) agreed to revise their NBSAPs to align with the new Montreal-Kunming Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). ??? In 2025 Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (#UNFCCC) and Paris Agreement are requested to submit the next round of NDCs and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) From this analysis, experts developed four key recommendations: 1. ?? Cross-cutting Planning & Governance: establish shared principles, stregnthen institutional coordination and enable data sharing between climate and biodiversity teams 2. ?? Nature-based Solutions: set explicit targets that extend beyond forests to include oastal, marine, grassland, and inland water systems and develop robust data and governance systems for implementation 3. ?? Area-based Conservation: prioritise under-represented ecosystems and high-value areas for #carbonstorage and biodiversity 4. ?? Aligned Finance: channel climate funds toward biodiversity co-benefits, align national budgets with #naturepositive objectives and mobilise private sector investment Read our full brief to learn how countries can maximize resources and improve implementation of both biodiversity and climate commitments: https://lnkd.in/g6ygDJwG Authors: Eliza Northrop, Ben Milligan, Philip James, Rebekah Mawson, carolina hazin, Suzanne Ozment, and Ximena Apéstegui.
