COP16 concludes in Cali, Colombia

Cali, Colombia, Nov 1 (Prensa Latina) The 2024 United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP16) is concluding in this capital on Friday, in which crucial issues such as the mobilization of funds and access to information on genetic resources are still being discussed.

Although the host country was determined to move the talks forward after more than ten days of negotiations, it was still difficult to reach a consensus on the talks’ of traditionally most complex issues.

The event’s president and Colombia’s Minister of Environment and Sustainable Development, Susana Muhamad, stated that the parties had reached a point in which they had to make concessions.

The Minister commended that the first major negotiating objective achieved was the Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities Work Plan, which provides a clear implementation pathway for Indigenous communities within the Kunming Montreal Framework adopted at the previous COP.

However, Muhamad added that the subsidiary body on this issue, which would be a claim of indigenous peoples and local communities, had yet to be approved.
