Webinar: What to watch at the UN’s COP16 biodiversity summit
The UN nature summit COP16 is underway in Cali, Colombia – one of the most biodiverse countries in the world.
More than 23,000 delegates are set to attend the talks, which come two years after a global agreement to “halt and reverse” biodiversity loss by the end of this decade.
Reporting from Cali, Carbon Brief’s specialist team of food, land and nature journalists held a webinar to discuss the key issues facing negotiators over the next two weeks.
They answered a range of audience questions about finance fights, how UN biodiversity negotiations work, the representation of Indigenous peoples and Colombia’s leadership of the summit.
The webinar featured these five Carbon Brief journalists, who are on the ground in Cali covering all aspects of the biodiversity talks:
- Dr Giuliana Viglione, section editor for food, land and nature
- Daisy Dunne, associate editor
- Aruna Chandrasekhar, food, land and nature journalist
- Orla Dwyer, food, land and nature journalist
- Yanine Quiroz, food, land and nature journalist
A recording of the webinar (below) is now available to watch on YouTube.
