Excerpt from ClimaTalk:
Biodiversity plays an important part in maintaining a healthy planet as well as the ecosystem services that we rely on. As such, protecting nature should be a key consideration within climate action. COP27 will have a dedicated thematic day based entirely on biodiversity and implications for mitigation and adaptation to climate change. But what exactly can we look forward to in these discussions, and what is there to be built on?
COP26 Summary
The Glasgow Climate Pact which emerged from COP26 mentions the importance of conserving and restoring the world’s natural systems, but stopped short of identifying key areas of focus or specific recommendations to be taken. With specific ocean and biodiversity-based summits happening throughout 2022 in leadup to COP27, all eyes shifted towards the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD; COP15) and the UN Ocean Conference (UNOC).
