ABOUT  COP-16

 

The Conference encompasses the Sixteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 16), the Eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CP MOP11), and the Fifth meeting of the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization (NP MOP5). It will include a high-level ministerial segment.

COP 16 will be the first Biodiversity COP since the adoption of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework at COP 15 in December 2022 in Montreal, Canada.

This event has the potential to be a historic COP for Indigenous Peoples and local communities. At COP16, it is going to be decided the the adoption of the New Programe of Work for indigenous peoples and local communities for the next 10 years, which would serve as a guide for governments in supporting the work of indigenous peoples as fundamental actors in the conservation of biological diversity.

At COP 16, parties will be tasked with reviewing the state of implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. Parties are also expected to show the alignment of their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) with the Framework. COP 16 will further develop the monitoring framework and advance resource mobilization for the Global Biodiversity Framework. Among other tasks, COP 16 is also due to finalize and operationalize the multilateral mechanism on the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the use of digital sequence information on genetic resources.
