Despite on-going efforts, biodiversity is deteriorating worldwide and this decline is projected to worsen with business-as-usual scenarios. The UN Biodiversity Conference will convene governments from around the world to agree to a new set of goals for nature over the next decade through the Convention on Biological Diversity post-2020 framework process. The framework sets out an ambitious plan to implement broad-based action to bring about a transformation in society’s relationship with biodiversity and to ensure that, by 2050, the shared vision of living in harmony with nature is fulfilled.
COP 15 will take place December 5 to 17 in Montreal, Canada.
Taking place September 19 – 25, New York Climate Week brings together leaders in climate action from business, government, and the climate community, hosted by Climate Group and run in conjunction with the United Nations General Assembly and the City of New York, with the goal of driving climate action.
