I have not been following the meetings online but did, today, bump into the story below from the very excellent Carbon Brief - my go-to site for following climate change. As I have just been reading through the joint IPBES-IPCC report <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fipbes.net%2Fevents%2Flaunch-ipbes-ipcc-co-sponsored-workshop-report-biodiversity-and-climate-change&data=04%7C01%7Cbioplan%40groups.undp.org%7C262ff31370de4ffc2b1b08d98e699b91%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637697406962013695%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=dcNj60BjWfuAeh3F7PobXEqdXMk5hgesUOL6pxksZmo%3D&reserved=0> on interlinkages between climate change, biodiversity and societal impacts, I thought it might be interesting to see how journalists used to following climate change take on the CBD (see article below my signature. Climate Brief's take home message on the first three days is perhaps best summarised in this sentence: "*The first part of COP15 aimed to build political momentum and interest and was largely ceremonia*l" For those preferring more "traditional" CoP coverage, the ever-reliable IISD Earth Negotiations Bulletin (ENB) coverage can be followed for Day 1 <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fenb.iisd.org%2FUN-Biodiversity-Conference-CBD-COP15-11Oct2021&data=04%7C01%7Cbioplan%40groups.undp.org%7C262ff31370de4ffc2b1b08d98e699b91%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637697406962023691%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=%2BlC6k52eUcruBkQ6jyn5bfyGGjB9yvXTEve5wQdtCRE%3D&reserved=0> , Day 2 <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fenb.iisd.org%2FUN-Biodiversity-Conference-CBD-COP15-12Oct2021&data=04%7C01%7Cbioplan%40groups.undp.org%7C262ff31370de4ffc2b1b08d98e699b91%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637697406962023691%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=vUmXy5XAZ6aXB9u6HE0ft8lzuVLSpeEHPdLrnS6gJ5c%3D&reserved=0>, and Day 3 <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fenb.iisd.org%2FUN-Biodiversity-Conference-CBD-COP15-13Oct2021&data=04%7C01%7Cbioplan%40groups.undp.org%7C262ff31370de4ffc2b1b08d98e699b91%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637697406962033683%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=Y%2FwxquI5bigxZUkb5LM4MisTtiPcZRKdRfTyG1ZHNwk%3D&reserved=0> via the links.

The two-part conference aims to deliver a crucial *global biodiversity framework* for this decade. Hosts *China* pledged $233m towards a *biodiversity fund* for developing countries and invited other countries to contribute. Over 100 countries adopted the Kunming Declaration. *WHAT:* The 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) began in Kunming, China on Monday. It is China’s first major international environmental conference as hosts. Because of Covid-19 constraints, it is being held in two parts: the first, in a virtual format this week; the second, in person in Kunming next year from 25 April to 5 May. The pandemic paused preparatory meetings and “not everyone agreed to the online format <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fclick.revue.email%2Fss%2Fc%2FossWhOpCaBRiEAgoDIOxb6T64dpWUoWNl7z1RzWokKj_Ntdcd4s4aFC7jUtEIj9XwbAotlz42T2Yhi2o_qKRwOi-ZX0__-jtKPdjiN8DcWCjP3kdhdnTKMUnQd67-od00fmJqJVDLFTdG-rrlmBJ1ZGEdUOPAEvYGAdZf6nN9WWxdL97LGDMjyFmDYJTZsUPVjl3aeXRlmqJ_3RzIXgJhjxzqo0YoRyzF8PkTKlQ9J-chTUSCF6g9_Ovikj6fdbY%2F3g4%2FHkebJo2-TUacTIH1KmXgmQ%2Fh0%2FGsu00Igh4-XCO-tFXS9aUKPbyEve7C6MCYapUgc9XEI&data=04%7C01%7Cbioplan%40groups.undp.org%7C262ff31370de4ffc2b1b08d98e699b91%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637697406962033683%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=hDTeTR%2BYkvrQtLpLDmbgnyrMhdvV9DB3px%2FsS2wSiXg%3D&reserved=0>”, but scientific and policy discussions have since resumed virtually. *BACKGROUND:* The CBD has 195 signatories and three main stated objectives: to conserve biological diversity; allow for its sustainable use; and enable fair and equitable benefit-sharing from genetic resources. Its COPs have inspired less interest than those of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change for several reasons.

In addition, targets are harder to set, measure and implement. However, failure to reverse biodiversity loss could undermine global climate, food security and sustainable development goals. Many countries have also set biodiversity targets in their climate pledges. *AIMS:* COP15 aims to deliver a Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework to reverse biodiversity loss globally and is a “once-in-a-decade” summit, albeit delayed. It comes a year after a UN report found that the world failed to meet a single biodiversity target <https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fclick.revue.email%2Fss%2Fc%2F41iAGPJjZJOWpePAl2nuCCO6PVm-kRj1mBdMgHQYa0TU72xQLjXJPn78VJm0DLnV-Pp3hQiIefMB_s0RwYxC-eJVNzeNDl2YKEBFUxSNttzEcjiBGKnM8IngX3n0i9RDRvrUDMcQ4fRfqWVY9IRghmC9eQZPYTvFRdS4rJ2G2xol5ZkmfL_v0oHr9dolfI1ISDMFt4JPjlciJhgY4FUOK266C8G0HxUmQ7QtxyqfgAMYH2gYvsD5lChCcWLC5Dw0jVnqCPQX7PHdxIkIxgvShFbXg8bw6vLApIPMb3lkdjI%2F3g4%2FHkebJo2-TUacTIH1KmXgmQ%2Fh2%2FqFNsFXi3eRHvcYefc2sr7FaoyUeW-FS1KJSfokT9FmE&data=04%7C01%7Cbioplan%40groups.undp.org%7C262ff31370de4ffc2b1b08d98e699b91%7Cb3e5db5e2944483799f57488ace54319%7C0%7C0%7C637697406962043683%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=pbikhpaQfR2X22A1Ghd1cr83FWCF6Civuel9%2Fnl%2FTAE%3D&reserved=0> for the last decade, agreed to by leaders in Aichi, Japan in 2010.
