We’re keenly looking forward to the 15th meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP15) to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to be hosted virtually by our member country China in October and in person in Kunming during April-May 2022. As you are probably already aware, our HKH region is an extremely important and special place for biological diversity and home to four of 17 global biological diversity hotspots in the Asia-Pacific. The deliberations and outcomes of CBD COP15 are therefore deeply significanct to us as a region.
COP15 is of particular importance because it will set directions and targets for the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), which will have near-term implications for conservation efforts over the next decade and longer-term implications for decades to come.
