Climate Change & the Environment

One of the major items at COP15 is the expected adoption of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework as an important step toward the 2050 Vision of “Living in harmony with nature”. From December 3 - 5, meetings were held as part of the 5th meeting of the Open-ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework. The Open-Ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework is tasked with advancing preparations for the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework.

The UN Biodiversity Conference is taking place from December 7 - 22, 2022, in Montreal, Canada. Cultural Survival’s delegation is in Montreal to follow the negotiations and report on the most important issues concerning the rights of Indigenous Peoples and the future of biological diversity.

At the Opening of the 5th meeting of the Open-ended Working Group on the Post-2020 Biodiversity Framework, parties reviewed the proposed organization of work and agreed to use the Outcomes of the Work of the Informal Group on the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework coming out of the Nairobi meetings held in June 2022, in Nairobi, Kenya.
